Lewis Black: Off the Rails

Time: 8:00 PM
Host/Presenter: The Oncenter Crouse Hinds Theater
Phone: 315-435-2121
Lewis Black is one of the most prolific and popular performers working today. He executes a brilliant trifecta as a stand-up comedian, actor, and author. Receiving critical acclaim, he performs more than 200 nights annually, to sold-out audiences throughout Europe, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. He is one of a few performers to sell out multiple renowned theaters, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooks Atkinson Theatre, New York City Center, the Main Stage at the Mirage in Las Vegas and a sold-out Broadway run at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York City. His live performances provide a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment for his audience. He is a passionate performer who is a more pissed-off optimist than a mean-spirited curmudgeon. Lewis is the rare comic who can cause an audience to laugh themselves into incontinence while making compelling points about the absurdity of our world.

FOCL Presents Fran Lebowitz

Time: 7:30 PM
Host/Presenter: The Oncenter Crouse Hinds Theater
Phone: 315-435-2121
Beginning with her first book, Metropolitan Life in 1978, Fran Lebowitz has emerged as one of our more acerbic social critics. Her witty and pointed observations about such diverse topics as New York City tourists, art, and politics led The New York Times Book Review to call her an “important humorist in the classic tradition.” Most recently she appears in the documentary “Pretend It’s a City,” with Martin Scorsese, exploring her stories, interviews, and love of New York.


Join us for an evening with Fran Lebowitz as part of the Friends of Central Library's Rosamond Gifford Author Series.

The curious thing about being a fan of brasshouse? You’re pretty much talking about being into one solitary but extremely unforgettable band: the amusingly monikered Too Many Zooz. The musical style was “branded” by drummer King of Sludge, who recognized that there was no worthy existing classification for the New York trio, whose other two members are the equally unclassifiable Leo P (saxophone) and Matt Doe (trumpet). TMZ has performed with the likes of Beyonce at the Billboard Music Awards and their single “Warriors” racked up major play on Radio One.
