Lewis' live performances provide "a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment for his audiencE. Lewis yells so they don't have to. He is a passionate performer who is a more pissed-off optimist than mean-spirited curmudgeon. Lewis is the rare comic who can cause an audience to laugh themselves into incontinence while making compelling points about the absurdity of our world."

Lewis Black came into national prominence in his appearances on The Daily Show in 1996.  His appearances on The Daily Showled to four specials on Comedy Central. In 2001, he won the Best Male Stand-Up at the American Comedy Awards.
