Once You Go Black…

My favorite stand-up comedian working today is probably Lewis Black and I really enjoy his TV series. What? You didn't know Lewis Black has a TV show? Well, he sort of does. It appears every time he does a stand-up date. He and his opening act John Bowman go to some city and they each do their acts. Then a video camera is turned on and Black does a 15-25 minute webcast that's broadcast live on the Internet. It's usually just him answering questions submitted from the audience in the theater and at home. Some nights, it's better than others but it's different every time he does it and I always find it worth watching.

If you want to watch live, you first of all have to find out when he's doing a stand-up appearance, which you can do on this page of his website…or better still, subscribe to his Twitter feed. On it, he or someone posts the approximate time each webcast will start. Then you can watch on this page.

But you don't have to watch live. On that page when he isn't webcasting, you can watch the last few shows. This is all free. If you pay to join his fan club, you can view all the past webcasts and also get better seats for his live appearances, plus other perks.

I've mentioned this before but I don't think I stressed how wonderful some of these videos are. Also, the web address has changed so I wanted to give you all the new one. When he's good, he's really good.
