Comedian Lewis Black Comes to the Wharton Center Next Month

GRAMMY Award-winning stand-up comedian LEWIS BLACK is one of the most prolific and popular performers working today. Executing a brilliant trifecta as stand-up comedian, actor and author, Black performs over 200 nights a year to sold out audiences throughout Europe, New Zealand, Canada and The United States. He is one of few performers to sell out multiple, renowned theatres, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooks Atkinson Theatre, New York City Center and the Main Stage at the Mirage in Las Vegas. Black will make his first appearance at Wharton Center on Sunday, October 12th, 2014.

Tickets go on sale Friday, May 2nd at 10:00 a.m and will be available online at whartoncenter.com, at the Auto-Owners Insurance Ticket Office at Wharton Center, or by calling 1-800-WHARTON.

Lewis' live performances provide a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment for his audience. A passionate performer who is more pissed-off optimist than mean-spirited, 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 has taped four specials for the Comedy Central Presents series, co-created Last Laugh with Lewis Black, presided over Lewis Black's The Root of All Evil, and continues to perform Back in Black on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. His popular appearances on Comedy Central helped to win him Best Male Stand- Up at the American Comedy Awards in 2001.
