Lewis Black - Black on Broadway

Amazon.com

Lewis Black's performance in the HBO special Lewis Black: Black on Broadway is exactly like his "Back in Black" spots on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. If you love his sputtering, furious rants on the fake news, there's no reason you won't enjoy an hour's worth on DVD, during which Black spits out his grievances against typical stand-up comedy fodder--corporate scandals, air travel, etc.--in his usual, direct style. (Good line: "If you're in coach, kill yourself.") The only caveat: you'll get nothing extra here. The disc contains the show, brief shots of his entering/exiting the theater, and that's it. No interviews, no commentary track, not even a set of Spanish subtitles. But since Black's routine is stripped-down anger, perhaps it's fitting for the DVD to be stripped-down Black. --Leah Weathersby

Politic Comedy that works.......2007-09-09

Lewis Black is funny, almost has have to seen him somewhere. In movies, stand up shows or even the Daily Show. If you analyze all his jokes they're funny but even true in a lot of things. The 4 stars hmmmm mainly because not everybody goes for politic comedy but there are certain guys and I mean even Bill Maher can be a little boring sometimes but does have his punch lines. Lewis anger about everything is just priceless.

The Absolutely BEST of Lewis Black.......2007-06-29

There is no doubting Black's talent. The timing of this album was perfect and one with subjects most people can relate to forever so I must 5-star it as I try to memorize most of the great lines suitable for family and friends. I own two, one for home, one for travel. And, if I see it on HBO, I stop to watch because one can NOT JUST LISTEN. WATCH and laugh harder. Real Adult Funny!

BLACK ON BROADWAY.......2007-05-13

Excellent show, i've watched this 20 times and am still rolling on the floor laughing. this is not for children.

funny guy.......2007-03-26

Lewis Black is probably the funniest comedian of the year. He tackles tough social issues and makes a bang. His delivery and vocal inflection is perfect for the material. He knows just when to pause and when to get excited. Don't be paranoid of the "F" word. He uses it a lot, but I might add, uses it quite effectively.
He is amazing. I recommend this highly.

Hilarious as Usual.......2007-02-06

What can I say? In my opinion, Lewis Black is the funniest comedian ever. Yeah, he uses a *whole lot* of swear words, but what a great way to work out your anger (just don't watch it with the kids!) I think this is one of his best DVDs, right up there with "Red, White and Screwed".
