Weekend Planner: Comedy
Comedian Lewis Black began his public life as a playwright but soon found his true calling as a man who, faced with the absurdities of contemporary life and politics, is driven to manic fits of sarcasm, hyperbole, profanity, shouting and finger-shaking. Featuring rants on the flagging economy, the 2012 presidential election and a convoluted health care system, his latest tour is titled “Running on Empty.”
8 p.m. Friday at the Calvin Theatre in Northampton. $48.50, $58.50 586-8686, iheg.com
