Two-time Grammy Award-winning comedian Lewis Black will perform at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Center (777 N Tamiami Trail) on Saturday, March 11, at 8 p.m. The tour, titled “GOODBYE YELLER BRICK ROAD”, marks the end of Black’s 35-year touring legacy. Tickets start at $35 and are available here.
Known for his energetic comedy style that is as rant-y as it is revelatory, Black captivates audiences by deftly exposing life’s absurdities and hypocrisies. His latest stand-up special, “Tragically, I Need You”, has garnered over 1.3 million views on YouTube, addressing, in his signature vitriol, pandemic coping strategies, societal frustrations, and the chaos of modern America.
Lewis Black pursues new creative projects
His illustrious career has spanned stage, television, and film. He’s appeared in movies such as Man of the Year, Unaccompanied Minors, and Inside Out, as well as on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show”. Black’s “GOODBYE YELLER BRICK ROAD” tour caps a career of immense humor and incisive insights.
While Black may be taking his final stage bows as a comedian, he is not retiring his creative interests. Instead, he will focus on new pursuits—penning a book, developing a new play, and expanding his podcast, “RantCast”. This exciting finale performance will be the last chance to watch the iconic performer deliver a stand-up comedy special.
