Now 76, Lewis Black is embarking on “Goodbye Yeller Brick Road, The Final Tour.” Fittingly, the tour will bring Black back to the same town where his comedy career began. As part of Carolina Performing Arts’ 2024–25 season, Black will perform at Memorial Hall at 7:30 p.m. April 29. Chapel Hill remains a special place for Black. (UNC.edu)
