3. Comedy: Lewis Black at the Shubert Theatre
After stops in New Hampshire and Connecticut last fall, Lewis Black finally brings his latest tour, “The Rant is Due,’’ to Boston this weekend. The perpetually pissed off comic has made a career out of his angry rants, so expect a night of rage-fueled stand-up from the fiery 66-year-old.
