GRAND SIERRA RESORT – GRAND THEATRE
Lewis Black is back in town with the cathartic blend of anger and disillusionment that has made him one of the most relevant and prolific stand-ups working today. Reference is not his middle name… That’s for sure. He definitely says what he thinks, focusing his stand-up on political/news satire and observational black comedy, without a filter for the F bomb what-so-ever. During his shows, he’s been known to read aloud rants that have been emailed to him from his fans. Again, if you don’t like the F word, don’t watch this, but here’s a pretty funny video of Lew reading “Customer Service.” For tickets to see Lewis Black live, visitGrandSierraResort.com.

Unsure of his lines as well as who and where he is supposed to be, Sir is adamantly determined to roar his last. This bracing, heartbreaking drama becomes a beautiful stand‐alone story for the redemptive nature of theatre. Learn more about showtimes and order tickets in advance at Brüka.org.
