Opening Rant

[@DBMe33]

Lewis Black is my spirit animal. Im very thankful for his existence bc I could never get away with ranting like he does without ending up in a psych ward. Thank u Mr. Black.

[@DBMe33]

@Chuck 😁👍

[@DBMe33]

@Jobje Rabbeljee U need to go back to school & learn how to write a cohesive & complete sentence. U cant troll successfully, if no one can even understand what u said.

[@jesuschristpose896]

The king of rants, love Lewis Black, he is a national treasure

[@alejandrogonzalez1541]

Yup.

[@magnificentmuttley154]

National Treasure, indeed! 💯% agreed! ! I've always loved Jewish people for their ability to articulate at their very best while in the heaviest hot lava. There's nothing more satisfying, therapeutic, & highly effective than the rage of a New York Jew. And Lewis Black is the king of them ALL! ! I just wish I could've discovered him 20 years ago. I've missed alot by not attending the comedy clubs or checking out upcoming acts. Had I done that I would've known about him long ago 💥💥💣

[@1indarkness]

Hahaha took the words right out my mouth 🤣

[@robertyancey4867]

Gotta love the wit and wisdom of Mr. Lewis Black..Just telling it like it is!!!😆😂🤣😅😎😎😎

[@EckkoVoid]

Rants like this from Lewis Black is why he is, in my opinion, the best comedian ever

[@margaretfleming2151]

Love Lewis black....no body like him no body!!!!!!!!!!!keep them coming👵

[@bigbean78]

It really is all a sham. I’ve bought concert tickets months ahead of time for $250 each, and within a week of the show, Ticketmaster had seats near mine for $100 each. If I got overcharged buying early, shouldn’t I be refunded the difference?

[@Robology13]

This is one of the best piece of comedy / truth I've seen in awhile. Carlin like for sure. Way to call out Ticketmaster for the street hustlers they are, and still manage to make it funny.

[@LowDoze]

Back in the 70's and 80's, around my area our tickets had one time on it. That time was ALWAYS the time they opened the doors. I don't know when it changed, but I missed the opening band once and never made that mistake again.

[@rRobertSmith]

8 years later Ticketmaster is being sued by Taylor Swift, so this aged very well indeed.

[@tinytanks]

6:18 yes it was, Lewis... yes, it was.

[@pmbluemoon]

*LEWIS BLACK FOR PRESIDENT 2020*

[@chuck1prillaman]

Doug Stanhope uses Brown Paper Tickets and that seems to work great.

[@jakartafinance9389]

It's impossible not to enjoy this!

[@ScooterFXRS]

Interesting an ad for a 6pm show listed here: Lewis Black - On Tour Nov 10 Nearest show · Grand Rapids, MI Sun 6:00 PM · original: "20 Monroe Live" Ticketmaster If I leave now I might make it.

[@greghavens7679]

The same thing happened to Lewis in Houston at the Verizon Theater way back. Only it was hotter than two rats fuckin' in a wool sock out and those stupid bastards didn't turn the air conditioning on until we were in our seats. Lewis, John Bowman and everyone in the theater had a major case of the soaking wet swamp ass. Lucky for all of us, Lewis who almost started it, prevented a riot. John had a great opening set and Lewis was spot on. Thanks for coming to town guys

[@spencerwelchii573]

"Music by Philip Glass" perfect!

[@nickmagrick7702]

this is a great example of how people always get mad at the wrong thing.

[@nigeldeforrest-pearce8084]

Marvelous and Wonderful!!!!

[@Lornewright83]

2:54 that's what I call a frustrated stutter but funny as hell ☺

[@schoicefarkasdi]

i will be seeing him on Sunday night in Austin... guess what time the ticket says? YOU GOT IT! 7 p.m.! LOL!! hubby and i will be there with bells on!

[@EebstertheGreat]

The Wikipedia page for Ticketmaster is brutal.

[@clancypool3160]

A national treasure hands down love this Mr. Black

[@Plantlady70]

The music of Phillip Glass...

[@redbird28able]

I find it fascinating and great that censorship doesn't bleep him out because it would be a real bore to listen to him if they did. I wonder why a lot of other comedians get the bleep treatment...why not let them say what they want too. If they bleeped every bad word Lewis said there would be no show and that's what makes Lewis so fucking funny. He needs to run for President...he would get my vote for sure.

[@bluetoad2001]

Lewis Nails it again, glad he started at 7:00

[@dennismetzger9287]

As a glasses wearer when he takes off his glasses it makes me fuckin proud

[@aldrichmusic28]

I literally could not stop laughing after 5:53. Glorious.

[@curtnicholson7771]

I thought Live Nation owned Ticketmaster, and I think they are the largest booking agency in the US but I may be wrong.

[@mistermusturd6402]

Louis C.K. left ticketmaster and look what they did to him.

[@chuckanderson8144]

Corporate scalping.

[@jamesdandy1777]

As I'm looking at Ticketmaster adds on Lewis thumbnail lol.

[@AJROtheWriter]

Get a web site. Design you own tickets, let people buy them on your website. Only let people who have YOUR TICKETS in. Make them look different and have a different numbering system than Ticketmaster to prove they are yours.

[@danielleary9533]

Sounds good in theory but I'm sure ticketmaster has made some deal with the venues that makes it harder. He has to feed and cloth himself, as well as his time writing and performing, I doubt he has time or desire to figure out all the quirks of starting and managing a competing business.

[@yellowdart6666]

he should rebrand himself as the trembling jew.

[@laughinlori6893]

Why would a show start at 7 PM? When they are doing 2 shows a night, second show starts at 10 PM. Love Lewis. I can't snack when I watch or else I will choke and die! 💕

[@gregorys6838]

Pay at the door.

[@hannahmore9118]

Ticketmaster sounds like a monopoly to me. Time to regulate!

[@collegeman1988]

Louis CK got around the Ticketmaster bullshit by selling his tickets on his website. I hope he’s able to return to tell jokes onstage sometime soon.

[@goodgollymisspolly5163]

Today's Topic: Men who claim "We're Pregnant." They're Not Pregnant and I CAN PROVE IT!!!!! !!!! !!! !! !

[@stevencoffman34]

Lewis speaks the truth

[@Numenor76]

"It was 20 years ago that Pearl Jam took on the man (Ticketmaster) in an epic battle that became so large that it ended up on Capitol Hill, with even then-President Bill Clinton weighing in on the issue through a spokesperson."

[@1indarkness]

Lewis black is a national treasure. Protect him at all costs

[@davidlindsay131]

That's right, I buy *land* ...before every Show.

[@jeffm3163]

I tried stub hub once for tickets to Fenway park. 400 dollars for bleacher seats. Needs less to say I opted not to go and don’t do business with them.

[@JHATDRUMMER1976]

door or dr. or drs. which means doctors

[@hannahmore9118]

Ticketmaster sounds like a monopoloy to me. Feds'll be in to break them up any minute now. Yeah.

[@PumpkinPie_The_Frenchie]

Still true about Ticketmaster

[@rogerj412]

I love Lewis Black but I can't help but notice his belt is fucking not straight.

[@pierheadjump]

What? Ticket boner? NOOOO!!! That never happens! 🤣. Thanks Lew ⚓️

[@robertyancey4867]

The one...The only...Mr.Lewis Black...😀😆😁😊☺😎

[@cathalmacsiurdain7762]

Ticketmaster. Carpetbaggers. Parasites. By the way, what happenend to the price of concert tickets? Going to a concert used to be a matter of OH, yeah, I think I#ll check that concert out. Now you need to plan in advance so you can remortgage your house to generate enough funds to cover the cost of the ticket. I stay at home if the price is more than 60 dollars.

[@paularata3945]

Sell tickets from a Lewis black website

[@davidm136]

Luis is real Deal with it Awesome

[@cornellwaters8969]

🍑 Thank you

[@sherryhesner5940]

😉

[@Parnelli1963]

😂😂😂😂

[@satorimystic]

WTF?! 😡

[@lumen5973]

So funny I got fucked to . Ticket office. Be careful I spent $290 on a vip I could have bought for $128 On the day of the show.

[@tomgriffiths2622]

FUCKIN ticket master

[@robertwoods3750]

get on the phone lew an call some of your jewish friends , if you call enough i'm sure you'll run across the one that owns ticket master an tell him about it , owww , i'm sure you already have and he told you to use that for your special and proobley charged you for that.....lol

[@santinojessieavilapreslie9851]

Don't swear so much...youll still get a laugh...on your rant.

[@michaelwertzy9808]

I stubbornly agree, He's a great "topical" comedian & ranting maniac, but he doesn't fail to make me laugh. He really should tone down the expletives, and I know that would make me laughing to tears!

[@nickhannah9543]

First Amendment is Freedom of Speech. He has every right to use that kind of language as often as he wants

[@oldschoolman1444]

It's part of his show, don't watch if it offends your delicate ears! =)
