Chairs were very small and uncomfortable and packed together very tightly. We liked the warm-up comedian better than Lewis Black. Black was okay, but every other word out of his mouth is the F-word, which gets old. It's not really that funny if that's basically all you do.

Lewis Black
I'm not crazy about this venue, only because the floor seating is flat and not sloping like most floor venues. (I assume it's to accommodate musical acts standing room). Also, I'm still not sure about what that whole last portion of the act was about. Apparently, we were going live on line for the whole world to see. I am of the opinion, that if they wanted to see the show, they should of bought a ticket.

Disappointed with timing of live performance
Lewis didn't make the stage until 9 pm and then hour or less later there was an intermission. The show just seemed to drag out unnecessarily. It was like a good TV show with way too many commercials.

Great show
We always get our tickets as soon as possible for his show. As always Lewis had sharp commentary on current events. He makes a point to do a signing session after the show and is patient and friendly with each person.

Big time disappointment. Never will see him again!
Several years ago I saw Lewis Black on HBO and he was very clever and funny. So I had high expectations for his live show in Cincinnati. The opening act (cant remember his name) was very funny. Then Lewis Black arrived on stage and went on an 80 minute rant about Republicans and Fox News and just kept going back to the same thing over and over to the point where both me and my wife almost walked out. And yes, several people in the audience walked out. It's not about me and my wife being Conservative, but if we wanted to watch nearly an hour and a half about someone going off on on Republicans and not in a funny way, we would have stayed home and watched CNN. What turned me off the most about his performance is he looked at his watch 3 times near the end to make sure he didn't stay longer than planned. Looking at his watch???? Come on! $250 dinner, $150 tickets, Lewis Black - forget-able. So disappointing!!
Two-time Grammy award winning comedian/actor/writer Lewis Black uses his trademark style of comedic yelling and finger pointing to expose the absurdities of life.

His latest stand-up special, Tragically, I Need You, released earlier this year and has already surpassed 1.3 million views on YouTube. The brand-new special explores topics including his ways of coping with the pandemic, his frustrations with the evolving world, and of course his thoughts about the chaos of America these last few years.
