Born and raised in Silver Spring, Maryland, Lewis Black performs a brilliant trifecta as stand-up comedian, actor and author. His one man concerts play to sell out audiences throughout Europe, New Zealand, Canada and the United States for which he receives critical acclaim, adulation, occasional hate mail and marriage proposals. Lewis is one of the highest grossing and hardest working live performers in the business. For the last five years, he has performed over a hundred shows per year which has earned him the nickname “The Willie Nelson of Stand-Up Comedy.” In February of this year, he performed for three nights at The New York City Center adding to previous sold out engagements at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and The Beacon Theatre. Lewis received the award for "Best Male Stand Up" by the American Comedy Awards in 2001 and was recognized by the Pollstar Awards for his blockbuster comedy tours: “Rules of Enragement” and “Red, White & Screwed” in 2004. His CD and DVD for “Rules of Enragement” and “Red White and Screwed” have earned him two Grammy nominations and one win. As the creator of "Back in Black" for "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart, Lewis has been with the show since the beginning. 2006 was a break out year for Lewis as an actor … he co-starred in Barry Levinson’s Man of the Year, Accepted and Unaccompanied Minors. He also starred in Bob Saget’s parody Farce of the Penguins with Samuel L. Jackson. His first book, “Nothing’s Sacred" debuted on the New York Times Bestseller List. Most recently, he linked with Riverhead Books to write a second book which will be released in 2008. As a graduate of the Yale School of Drama, Black has written over 40 plays that have been produced all over the country. As a professional mentor with the 52nd Street Project teaching inner city youth, he is co-chair of their Capital Campaign and on the Advisory Board where the Ron Black Memorial Scholarship Fund was named in honour of his late brother. He raises money for several other scholarship programs including The William Foeller Scholarship at Williamstown Theatre Festival where he teaches. Lewis is also a long-time supporter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
