I got the tickets for my husband for Christmas. He was so excited to go!! We both love Lewis Black!! We love that his routine is a no holds barred - he will bag on both political parties equally!!!We had such a wonderful time!! If/when he come back to Reno, we will be going!!
Lewis Black put on a great show poking fun at current events he had us laughing and it was a great evening. Unfortunately there were some in the audience that take life to seriously and felt a need to interrupt the show but they were quickly put in their place by the crowd and Lewis continued to entertain. Highly recommend seeing him if you can.
What a great evening of laughter. Lewis Black was incredible. Insightful. Thought provoking. Interesting. Hilarious. And damn funny! Happy to have been able to attend his farewell tour; if he does another one, we'll attend that one too! Thank you Lewis Black for your incredible humor. The Grove at Anaheim...It would be nice if you took one chair out of each row (each side of the aisle); if you are even average size you are likely very cozy with a stranger...otherwise, the venue was great!
So thankful I was able to see him before he enjoys a well deserved retirement!! Laughed all night even when others didn’t or were too scared to! Thanks for all the laughs and may good health and happiness follow you!
Laugh out loud funny. Always smart, insightful and topical, Black’s wit and sarcasm hits the bullseye 🎯 .
I was amazed the variety of the age group, which was very young to older. Lewis was very relatable and funny! No wonder he’s such a success!
This was the third time we’ve seen Lewis Black. We loved it. I cried I laughed so hard.
After 45 years of comedy he is truly a master of his craft , didn’t miss a beat . 75 and in his prime . It was great to watch this man work
Lewis Black was very FUNNY!!! I’ve always wanted to see him, since he’s retiring soon decided to finally see him. Was not disappointed.
Lewis was very good and funny ... my complaint is the distraction of the show... this was to me, the staff ... It was a cold rainy night and yet they had the rear door open with staff watching ... I do not know why perhaps a ventilation issue ... but it was cold and noisy and nnt far from my aisle seats
Mr. Black was spot on! Everything topic he explored he stuck them perfectly. A memorable experience that was a perfect send off for his career. He had a respiratory bug but it didn't slow him down. He didn't miss a step and had the audience totally engaged.
I will miss seeing Lewis Black in person as he scales back his touring. He is one of a kind and never disappoints. A hilarious and super intelligent man! If you can see him, don’t miss it!
Saw Lewis Black at the Grove in Anaheim, CA on Saturday, January 20 - with a Monster Truck event at Angels' Stadium and C/W concert at Honda Center, we chose Lewis Black (and would every time!). This is probably the 4th or 5th time we've seen him, and this most recent show was probably the best one yet. Even thought he wasn't feeling that great, his energy level, cursing, and general irritation with everything was fantastic - the crowd was howling. Highly recommend if you're looking for an evening of laugh out loud comedy (and are of a certain political persuasion).
I've enjoyed Louis Black's work for years, and he was at his absolute best on Saturday night - his show was absolutely spectacular - he is so brilliant, so insightful, so engaged, we totally loved every minute of his performance! We also enjoyed Jeff Stillson - I had seen specials of his before, and he was wonderful!
At 75 years old, Lewis Black still delivers a great punchline with contemporary jokes that make your belly ache! See his show, if you enjoy his type of driven humor. Great show!
Lots of laughs and perspective on the political world.
Opening guy wasn't funny at all. And Mr Black needs something new. Enjoyed his rhetoric about Florida but that's about it.
Not a lot of meat on the bone….not nearly as entertaining as he once was but continues to charge top $ for his shows… maybe time to retire
Always love Lewis Black A fabulous venue and the attendants were so helpful Had a wonderful time!
Lewis Black has always been a favorite comedian and he performed as expected, political satire and mad as hell. Very funny!
