Location: Juanita K. Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts - 525 S. John Q. Hammons Parkway - Springfield, MO 65806
Admission: $36.75 - $56.75
In a standup comedy performance said to provide a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment, Lewis Black expresses with passion what the rest of us cannot say in polite company. He is the rare comic who can cause an audience to laugh uncontrollably while he drives home compelling points about the absurdity of our world. It’s no wonder he has been compared to Mort Sahl and Lenny Bruce. Known for his popular “Back in Black” segment on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, as well as his HBO specials and appearances on Inside the NFL and as a guest on late-night television shows, Black is also a best-selling author, a playwright, and the winner of a Best Comedy Album Grammy® for Carnegie Hall Performance. - - PLEASE NOTE: THIS PERFORMANCE IS INTENDED FOR MATURE AUDIENCES. -
