"THE DAILY SHOW’S" LEWIS
BLACK TO PERFORM AT
NEBRASKA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY
Lincoln, Neb.— Comedian Lewis Black of Comedy
Central’s "The Daily Show" and "Late Night
with Conan O’Brien" will perform March 12 at Nebraska
Wesleyan University.
Black’s performance, sponsored by Nebraska
Wesleyan Union Programs, is scheduled for 9 p.m., with doors opening
at 8:30 p.m., in O’Donnell Auditorium, located in the Rogers
Center for Fine Arts at 50th Street and Huntington Avenue. General
admission tickets are $20 and can be purchased now at the Nebraska
Wesleyan Student Center Office, located one block south of 53rd
and Madison Avenue. For ticket information, call (402) 465-2412.
Black basks in his weekly "Back in Black"
segment on "The Daily Show" as the most acerbic of commentators.
Born and raised on the Eastern seaboard and educated
at Yale, his gift for storytelling led him to a career as an actor
and playwright. He ran the West Bank Café Downstairs Theatre
Bar in Manhattan for eight years, where he wrote, produced, performed
and showcased new talent. It was his work there that brought him
to the attention of critics and audiences throughout the city and
soon, to larger, more famous stages.
His movie roles include Woody Allen’s "Hannah
And Her Sisters," "Jacob’s Ladder" and "The
Night We Never Met." In television, he has guest-starred on
"Homicide," "Law and Order" and "Mad About
You."
Black is currently developing a new series, in which
he will star, for Castle Rock Entertainment, and continues his Tuesday
night harangues on "The Daily Show" and regular appearances
on "Late Night with Conan O’Brien." He was recently
honored with the American Comedy Award for "Viewers’
Choice Stand-Up Comic."
