Lewis Black Comes Home to Join Grand Opening Month

December 3, 2008, 7:30pm

Lewis Black, a brilliant trifecta as stand-up comedian, actor and author, takes the big stage at the new Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC) on Wednesday, December 3, 2008, at 8 p.m. Black's passionate stand-up has established him as one of the most prolific and popular performers working today. Experience a night of uncontrollable laughter from one of America's favorite comedians.

While a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Lewis Black performed the first stand-up act of his remarkable career at Cat's Cradle. While maintaining residences in both Manhattan and Chapel Hill, Black has consistently stayed involved with UNC. His life-long commitment to education and the arts continues to provide fantastic support to the Triangle community.

Lewis Black has perfected expressing what the rest of us cannot say in polite company. Receiving critical acclaim, he performs over 200 nights a year to sell-out audiences throughout Europe, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. Last year, Black received a Grammy award for "Best Comedy Album." In addition, he appears regularly in movies and on television. His latest movie appearances include "Man of the Year" starring Robin Williams, Steve Pink's "Accepted", and Paul Feig's "Unaccompanies Minors." He also stars as judge, jury, and executioner on Comedy Central's "The Root of All Evil," a hilarious show that celebrated its first season last spring.
