Prolific funny man, actor, author, and stand-up comedian/ranter Lewis Black returns to the Paramount with his Running on Empty tour. Lewis' live performances provide a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment for his audience. Lewis yells so they don't have to! He is a passionate performer who is a more pissed-off optimist than mean-spirited curmudgeon. 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.
