An Evening with Lewis Black in Partnership with the Indianapolis JCC

Presented by Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library and JCC Indianapolis at Online/Virtual Space

Join us for an evening with comedian, Lewis Black. This two-hour virtual event will start with opening comments from Lewis and his interviewer, 13-year-old Sophie Maurer, the brave young lady who serves as the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library’s Free Speech Ambassador. We didn’t bleep out any of it!
The two will show their hilarious and often poignant 60-minute pre-recorded interview, which they will be seeing for the first time with you. They will then answer YOUR questions about free speech, Lewis’s life, why Lew switched from wanting to be a rabbi to wanting to be a comedian, or whatever else comes to your mind.
You will receive your Zoom link THE DAY OF THE EVENT. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to this no-holds-barred conversation with two brilliant and witty minds.
