It's hard to get the full effect of Lewis Black's gloriously bitter comedy if you're only listening to him. Watching the man work himself up into a lather with jowls shaking, beads of spittle flying from his lips, and his eyes bulging from his sockets as if his head is about to burst open from sheer pentup rage adds immeasurably to the effect of his barbed, pungent wit.

All-star comedian Lewis Black is funnier than ever in In God We Rust. Jump on for a rant-filled, cathartic ride through the issues of our baffling world, from inept politicians and the shortcomings of technology to the absurdity of social media. No topic is left unexplored in this landmark performance at the historic State Theatre in Minneapolis.

On his new album, Stark Raving Black, Lewis Black brings his singular style of profane and profound humor to the stage. Compelled by his passions and discontentedness with the absurdities of the world, he erupts in a hand-shaking, body-trembling, spewing of diatribe-laced dialectic comedy. Focusing on the personal and the political, Lewis guides his audience through a catalogue of the woes of the world, from the absurdities of aging (60 is not the new 40!) to the pitfalls of becoming a "mainstream" comedian to the insanity of Washington and Wall Street.

As "America's Foremost Commentator On Everything", Black is a weekly political commentator on Comedy Central's The Daily Show With Jon Stewart and has starred in four top-rated comedy specials for the network.
