"I loved "Stark Raving Black"! Lewis is still rocking in his new DVD. Even though he may joke about being old, he's still angry as ever. He's my favorite ranting comedian and his latest special will not disappoint."
No disappoint with the bLack

"Lewis Black is dealing with the fact he's sixty, and in this special reminiscing to childhood about how sixty year olds looked to him is hilarious, and very true. His brilliance and smart-ass like performances and reactions don't disappear despite his age, they only get funnier and more addicting. This special is around 80 min. long but I'm still craving for Lewis Black when it's over."
His finest performance to date!

"I am actually listening to this right now on my iPod. I have been a big fan of Lewis Black for many, many years and I can tell you that this is Lewis at his finest. He's hilarious, irreverant and completely mad (and I mean mad as in "insane" but he's also the other kind of mad as well).
His take on twitter as well as turning 60 is truly hilarious. And when he talks about hallucinating as a teenager, you will come close to peeing your pants. I could recommend this more to you! I promise you will love it!
I am a very hard person to win over as far as comedians go. If someone doesn't make me laugh in the first few minutes I am done. And if you are that type of person, may I highly recommend Lewis Black to you. You will laugh from beginning to end, I promise."
BE CONVERTED!

"I never watched much Lewis Black before Stark Raving Black. Now, I'm watching old clips on youtube and even have been inspired enough to read his book "Me of Little Faith." I've been converted and encourage anyone to check out Stark Raving Black or any other Lewis Black commentary, especially if they have an urge to see our world from a different perspective."
Makes me smile

"it's hard for me to find a comedian i think is actually funny, this guy is one of the few i think is. his style and delivery is quite different from others. his comments on life, 60 yr olds, politics, etc. are hilarious! he can take the edge off the stress of the day -- makes me smile !"
