One of the most energetic performers in comedy, Black provides audiences with a passionate performance filled with lively rants about social absurdities and political blunders. He exudes a rare form of satire that can ignite laughter within an audience, while still making an enlightening point about the world.

In the late ‘80s Black left his career as a theater playwright in New York to pursue stand-up comedy full-time. His first big break was in 1996, when a producer friend asked him to film a weekly segment for a new show on Comedy Central. The piece titled "Back in Black" aired on "The Daily Show" and eventually became one of the network's most popular and longest running segments.

Exposure from his appearance on "The Daily Show" generated a record deal with Stand Up! Records and several comedy albums quickly followed. Black also filmed two HBO specials, "Black On Broadway" and "Red, White and Screwed." Other television credits include regular appearances on "Inside the NFL," "Larry King Live," "The Late Show with David Letterman" and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien."
