Book Lewis Black
Lewis Black is a stand-up comedian and actor from Silver Spring, Maryland, who has been performing since 1981.

Comedy Central ranked him 51st among the 100 greatest stand-ups of all time. His cathartic exasperation is a joy to watch live. 2 Grammy wins and 6 nominations sit on Lewis Black's record. The most recent wins came for Best Comedy Album for “Stark Raving Black” and Best Comedy Album for “The Carnegie Hall Performance”. Books by Black include Nothing's Sacred (2005).
