"All-star comedian, Lewis Black, is funnier than ever in In God We Rust. Jump on for a rant-filled, cathartic ride through the issues of our baffling world, from inept politicians and the shortcomings of technology to the absurdity of social media.

The Prophet

"So, what was Lewis Black like when he was younger? Did he have a positive outlook on life in the '80's and grow disenchanted as he got older? Hardly. This historic record from America's foremost commentator on everything, gives a telling, hilarious insight into Lewis Black's earlier years in standup. Before the Daily Show, before the Grammys, before the massive fame. This performance was recorded in late 1992 while Lewis was on tour. It exemplifies his acid-tonguw wit, his prescience about what matters, and his hilarious takes on the politics of the times."

I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas

"From Lewis Black, the uproarious and perpetually apoplectic New York Times-bestselling author and Daily Show regular, comes a ferociously funny book about his least favorite holiday, Christmas. Christmas is supposed to be a time of peace on earth and goodwill toward all. But not for Lewis Black. He says humbug to the Christmas tradtitions and trappings that make the holiday memorable. In I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas, his hilarious and sharply observed book about the holiday, Lewis lets loose on all things Yule. It's a very personal look at what's wrong with Christmas, seen through the eyes of 'the most engagingly pissed-off comedian ever.'* From his own Christmas rituals—which have absolutely nothing to do with presents or the Christmas tree or Rudolph—to his own eccentric experiences with the holiday (from a USO Christmas tour to playing Santa Claus in full regalia), I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas is classic Lewis Black: funny, razor-sharp, insightful, and honest. You'll never think of Christmas in the same way. *Stephen King"

Stark Raving Black

"On his new album, Stark Raving Black, Lewis Black brings his singular style of profane and profound humor to the stage. Compelled by his passions and discontentedness with the absurdities of the world, he erupts in a hand-shaking, body-trembling, spewing of diatribe-laced dialectic comedy. Focusing on the personal and the political, Lewis guides his audience through a catalogue of the woes of the world, from the absurdities of aging (60 is NOT the new 40!) to the pitfalls of becoming a "mainstream" comedian to the insanity of Washington and Wall Street."

Anticipation

"Known for flouting authority of all stripes at the mic, perpetually blustery and brilliant curmudgeon-err, comedian-Lewis Black skips the jeremiad on his latest album, leaving his skewering of Washington's denizens on the back-burner in favor of hilarious reflections on losing his virginity to a skipping record, the relative lameness of Chanukah (dreidels and school supplies aren't nearly as satisfying as you might think), the most hopeful people in the world (hint: you'll find them wandering in a deluded haze in both Scotland and Reno), and anticipation's place as the greatest emotion of all. Black's 2008 release "Anticipation" finds the Grammy-winning, Emmy-hosting author and television star in a mellower mood, having found that, after a year or two of leaving audiences alternately rolling in the aisles and hoping for sweet, swift deaths in the wake of his vicious and perfectly-aimed political onslaughts, he's, well, in need of a sunnier topic or two. While he does lament the fact that the only appropriate candidate for the highest office in this land is the universally loved Santa Claus (at the very least, he rants, we could make it Constitutionally mandated that all presidents must wear a Santa suit on foreign policy visits), Black spends the bulk of his time here in kinder, gentler territory, while still keeping up his trademark frenetic pace and subtle, masterful call-backs. In short, "Anticipation" is a joy, leaving listeners wetting themselves while also whetting their appetites for Black's inevitable evisceration of his next juicy victim-slated for selection in November 2008."

Nothing's Sacred

"Comedian Lewis Black unleashes his trademark subversive wit while recounting his own life story in his New York Times bestselling memoir. You've seen him on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart offering up his trademark angry observational humor on everything from politics to pop culture. You've seen his energetic stand-up performances on HBO, Comedy Central, and in venues across the globe. Now, for the first time, Lewis Black translates his volcanic eruptions into book form in Nothing's Sacred, a collection of rants against stupidity and authority, which oftentimes go hand in hand. With subversive wit and intellectual honesty, Lewis examines the events of his life that shaped his antiauthoritarian point of view and developed his comedic perspective. Growing up in 1950s suburbia when father knew best and there was a sitcom to prove it, he began to regard authority with a jaundiced eye at an early age. And as that sentiment grew stronger with each passing year, so did his ability to hone in on the absurd. True to form, he puts common sense above ideology and distills hilarious, biting commentary on all things politically and culturally relevant. 'No one is safe from Lewis Black's comic missiles.' (New York Times) You have been warned...."
