And you thought I’d never make another… Shame on You!

I did it folks, this week we’re back with another Sunday Serenade! Not sure how I managed it today since I worked the whole weekend on the building site stuffing death-wool into a tiny attic. But nevertheless, here it is: Two-One-Three-Four (2134). Enjoy!

Two-One-Three-Four

Today’s comedian is Lewis Black, a political/topical stand-up from Manhattan.

Black is a great comic; sharp and aggresive and armed with a lot of facts. Whilst listening to some of his albums today I even learnt a great deal about the state of American politics and its corrupt nature, though not in typical comedy fashion. Instead Black gives in-depth analysis of then-current affairs often working them into long, angry rants. Almost like when Bill Hicks gets really mad and has a mental breakdown at the guy who yells, “Freebird”. Only thing is, Black starts and ends his show on this level of fury, and doesn’t let up much in the middle.

Check out some of his albums, in particular The White Album, The End of the Universe, and Rules of Enragement.
