It’s hard to dispute that the world’s in a mess right now. Tightly wound comedian Lewis Black knows it.
Further, he’s unhappy about it. And he’s willing to share those thoughts, loudly and passionately, which makes him the King of Rant.
Black has unleashed his acid tongue on the world in a bevy of specials on HBO, Showtime, Comedy Central and Epix.
In his topical standup appearances, Black is unafraid of tackling weighty subjects such as the Bible, abortion, gun control, or baby boomers.
