Lewis Black
So we were so excited to hear Lewis Black was coming back to Westbury Music Fair...er, NYCB Theater at Westbury.The foul-mouthed comedian is one of Drew's favorite performers.
We had great seats for Friday night's performance. Westbury is theater-in-the-round, i.e., a circular stage surrounded by seating. We sat on folding chairs in what would otherwise be the orchestra pit, so we were close enough to touch the stage.
Black's opening act is John Bowman, who does most of his routine wearing a 70's-teen-idol wig, which he later manipulates to make a political statement. (Hint: which politician is known for his ...unusual and unique.... hairstyle?)
And then, the man himself took the stage.
Overall it was a great evening of comedy.
We did have one issue, the couple seated next to us. the guy was OK, but the woman ....
How do you pay good money to see a comedy show, and then talk through the opening act?
And the woman apparenlty had too much to drink. During the first half of Black's performance, she was laughng hysterically every time Black opened his mouth. Halfway through the show, however, she told the guy that she had to use the ladies' room. And she never came back. After awhile he kept looking at the door, as if he was wondering if he should go look for her.
It was a fun evening, and I think we'll be seeing Black again if he comes back to Westbury.

Oooh, I'd love to see him live.
