Saw Lewis Black in Denver last night.

Took my 21-year-old. It was great fun. I feel like Black's timing was a little off and he sounded like he had a cold, but we both really enjoyed the show. My voice is hoarse from laughing so much.

and that was cathartic for both of us; we were finally able to laugh about it. We were among like-hearted people. So glad we went.

He's coming to Denver, too. I'll probably miss that one, though. Give us a review if you see him.

I saw him several years ago in Oklahoma City and I made him LAUGH while signing my autograph. I can put that on my resume!!!

He's adorable!!!

Such a nice guy to his fans.

I find him attractive, too. Let me know what you think about the show. I thought his timing was off but it could have been a fluke, plus he sounded extremely hoarse, so I think he may have been ill. I still LOVED the show. His opening was a hoot, although I can't remember his name, Bob....somethin'.
:hi
On edit: You were prob talking about Oliver, if so pardon my response. (But I love him as well.)

Started noticing his TV show on Sunday nights a few weeks ago. He's really good and explains serious stuff in a very funny British way.
Besides, he has cute dimples. Yeah, John Oliver is cute.

Lewis Black radiates a totally nice aura offstage. He is good to his fans. The first time I saw him I was in a 3000 seat theater and up in the rafters and couldn't really see him. This time I'll be in the first six rows since I joined his fan club and got good tickets.
Not surprisingly, the acronym for his fan club is F.U.C.K.U.!!!
