Lewis Black appreciates his sixth Grammy nomination for best comedy album, but he’s skipping the Las Vegas ceremony on Sunday.
LOS ANGELES — Instead, he’ll be onstage at a New York theater as part of his “Off the Rails” national tour.
Black, 73, is also a playwright — the theater is his first love, and he holds a master’s degree from Yale School of Drama — actor, bestselling author and a mentor to aspiring comedians at alma mater University of North Carolina, where he earned a bachelor’s. AP: Why did you decide to go ahead with your early March 2020 concert at a Michigan casino when so much was unknown about COVID-19?
AP: You were playwright in residence at New York City’s West Bank Café’s Downstairs Theatre Bar for most of the 1980s, working with, among others, future Oscar-winning screenwriters Aaron Sorkin and Alan Ball. Sounds like a heck of an experience.
