Lewis Black to Perform at Hoyt Sherman Place Sept. 23

Renowned stand-up comedian Lewis Black comes to the intimate Hoyt Sherman Place in Des Moines for a performance at 8 p.m. Sept. 23.

Tickets are priced at $39.50 and $59.50 plus service charges and may be purchased at Hoyt Sherman Place, by calling 800-745-3000 or online at ticketmaster.com.

Lewis is one of the most prolific and popular performers working today. He executes a brilliant trifecta as stand-up comedian, actor and author. Receiving critical acclaim, he performs over 200 nights a year to sold out audiences throughout Europe, New Zealand, Canada and The United States.

He is one of few performers to sell out multiple, renowned theatres, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooks Atkinson Theatre, New York City Center and the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. In August 2007, he was the first stand-up comedian to ever perform in concert at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.

Lewis’ live performances provide a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment for his audience. Lewis yells so they don’t have to.

A passionate performer who is more pissed-off optimist than mean-spirited curmudgeon. Lewis is the rare comic who can cause an audience to laugh themselves into incontinence while making compelling points about the absurdity of our world.
