Lewis Black: Goodbye Yeller Brick Road, The Final Tour

CRITIC’S PICK: The irascible Lewis Black, now 75, is calling it quits after this tour. “When you reach my age, you’ve seen it all,” he told me in a 2015 interview during his “The Ranting Side of Life” trek across the country. “We don’t do anything except discuss. Not even really discuss. We argue, and all we’re really doing is arguing about what we’re not doing.” Little has changed since then, as Black will tell you in no uncertain terms. Influenced by Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor, Black’s brand of stand-up comedy remains vitally pertinent and rightfully indignant. Don’t blow this chance to see him on stage one last time. — Kevin C.
