DAILY SHOW commentator and stand-up comedian Lewis Black brought his politically-charged, red-in-the-face rants to New York's famed Carnegie Hall in 2005, and this double-disc set captures that hilariously piercing set. Black's bits, which cover everything from political hypocrisy to religion to what he sees as a general stupidity permeating society, bear more than a passing similarity to the words of another legendary funnyman who also played Carnegie Hall, Lenny Bruce. But while Bruce also had a certain jazzy hepcat charm, Black's charm comes in the form of pure unrestrained bile, as he offers a much-needed high-octane cure for the thinking-man's blues. Lewis Black rants so we don't have to.
