Jacksonville Gears Up for Lewis Black’s Last Hoorah!

Exciting news for comedy fans in Jacksonville! The renowned comedian and actor Lewis Black is making a stop at the historic Florida Theatre on March 7 as part of his much-anticipated “Goodbye Yeller Brick Road Tour.” This performance is particularly special, as it marks the comedian’s farewell tour after a remarkable multi-decade career filled with laughter and memories.

A Shift from Stage to Stand-Up

Lewis Black is best known not just for his hilarious stand-up routines but also for his insightful role in the beloved animated film Inside Out. As he prepares to take his final bow, Black reminisced about his unexpected journey into the world of stand-up comedy. Believe it or not, he initially had dreams of being a playwright and theater performer. With a passion for storytelling, he began by writing plays, acting, and exploring the theater scene with high hopes of making it big on stage.

However, life had other plans for him, and comedy took the front seat. Initially treating comedy as a side gig done for kicks, it quickly gained traction and opened new doors he never imagined. Financial struggles as a playwright played a significant role in this career pivot. He started noticing the differences in earning potential, and it’s safe to say that theater was not as lucrative.

From Auditions to Headlining

One standout moment he shared was when he auditioned at a comedy club—expecting to land a spot as a middle act. To his astonishment, he was hired as the headliner instead! This left him scratching his head, especially given his deep-rooted passion and commitment to theater for over 20 years. He couldn’t help but ponder why stand-up comedy enjoyed such financial support in comparison to theatrical productions. In his typical fashion, he humorously highlighted that the earnings he would make in just one week of doing stand-up were equivalent to what he made in three years working on a play. It’s amazing how life unfolds, isn’t it?
