"Our Leader" - Lewis Black | Thanks For Risking Your Life

Video Description

Some thoughts on our leader. "Thanks For Risking Your Life" 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 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. © 2020 Stark Raving Black Productions, Inc., All Rights Reserved – CREDITS – Written & Performed by Lewis Black Directed by Benjamin Brewer Produced by Jack Gulick, Benjamin Brewer Associate Producer & Post Supervisor: James Salkind Executive Producer: Lewis Black Edited by Derek Ambrosi Re-Recording Mixer: Tom Efinger Final Colorist: Keith Jensen Live Production – EIC: Ken Kuespert IMAG Director: Joe Hasse Video Engineer: Dan Rousseve Cameras: Gary Banks, Phil Patnaude, Donnie Rogers, James Salkind Lighting Director: Cris Stefanick FOH Mixer: Ron Houvener Stage Tech: Todd Hartman Camera Support & Equipment: TPC Technologies Inc.
