Comedian, UNC alum Lewis Black returns to Chapel Hill

Posted Apr 4, 2013
Stand-up comedian Lewis Black has always felt at home in Chapel Hill, so much so that more than 40 years after he graduated, he still has a second house here. Black will return to his alma mater this weekend to perform two nights of stand-up comedy as a part of the Carolina Union Activities Board’s 10th annual Carolina Comedy Festival — an event that he both helped create and has been featured in for several years.
