TLB Records has announced the release of its inaugural comedy special with the incomparable Lewis Black's Thanks For Risking Your Life, out October 6 via Amazon Prime, iTunes, Google Play, Xbox, and Vudu. The audio will also release via all digital platforms.
Lewis Black, heir to the George Carlin throne of the comedy rant, and practitioner of his signature blend of frustrated optimism lets loose again on his familiar punching bags of hypocrites, corporate swindlers, and governmental incompetents. Black doesn’t have set-ups to jokes so much as he has volcanic build-ups, twitchily rumbling up to eruptive punch lines.
Black performed this set on Friday, March 13, just days after the rest of the country shut down (the show was allowed to go on because it was in a sovereign Native American venue), so his commentary covers our current Corona-induced anxiety and his own hilarious frustration over The-Orange-One-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
Lewis Black doesn’t take political sides; whether he’s exposing the wide-spread systemic failures of both parties, or pin-pointing the micro-stupidities within pop culture, commensurate rage is jettisoned in favor of deploying an overwhelming force of comic condemnation, punctuated by his ever-present arsenal of F-Bombs.
Ahead of the special, you can catch Lewis Black on his new Rantcast podcast, available now on all major podcast platforms via The Laugh Button's podcast.
