LEWIS BLACK<\/h3>\n

May 7 @ 8:00 pm<\/p>\n

SANDS BETHLEHEM EVENT CENTER, 77 Sands Blvd<\/p>\n

Bethlehem, PA 18015<\/p>\n

Price Level 2: $49.50<\/p>\n

Though Lewis Black came to stand-up later in life, he quickly became one of the biggest comics of his generation. One of the country\u2019s foremost political comedians, Black\u2019s trademark style is an angry boil that builds to a full-on shouting rant; his frustration with politics and society drive him from frustration to rage. Like George Carlin, Richard Pryor and Bill Hicks before him, Black is fed up with the hypocrisy and madness he sees in the world, and his comedy is devoted to preaching that gospel to the unsuspecting masses.<\/p>\n
