Comedian, actor and author Lewis Black is a lean mean America bashing machine. Viewing the republicans as a party with "bad ideas" and democrats as a party with "no ideas," he's prepared to rant about all sides of the political spectrum.

On his current stand-up tour, In God We Rust he'll be stopping by Charlotte for a performance at Ovens Auditorium on April 14. Tickets (starting at $39.50) go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. For more info, visit the website for Ovens Auditorium here.
