Her 1999 release of When I Look in Your Eyes spent an unprecedented 52 weeks in the #1 position on Billboard’s Jazz chart, won two GRAMMY® Awards, and went Platinum in the U.S. and Canada. Her most recent release, This Dream Of You, has garnered critical acclaim from fans and press alike.

Lewis Black’s The Rant Is Due: Chautauqua

Lewis Black brings his trademark blend of blistering humor and sharp commentary to Chautauqua with his one-of-a-kind show The Rant Is Due. The show where you, the audience, get to rant about all the things that make you go crazy, scratch your head, or explode like Lewis does! Whether it is the bizarre tendencies of your co -worker, the frustrating inadequacy of local government or your undying love of pickles, no subject is off the table. Lewis will be looking for well written, and not necessarily profanity free rants, that he (or perhaps some of our special guests that night!) can voice to the universe for you. Let Lewis be your megaphone! By using our online submission portal, you will be able to send in the final draft of your rant in the weeks and days leading up to the performance. So, join us for a unique amazing show where you can be both in the writer’s room AND the audience all at once.
Remember Chautauqua, this show is yours!
