Comedian Lewis Black regularly touches on topics such as current events, social media, politics and anything else that “exposes the hypocrisy and madness in the world,” as he puts it.

Given the election of Donald Trump as president, Black’s analysis of the “hypocrisy and madness in the world” seems all the more relevant.

Now, the comedian has just announced the dates of his new the Joke’s On Us Tour. He will launch the tour with an Oct. 4 performance at Akron Civic Theatre. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday at Livenation.com.
