Black is back ... and chances are he's probably ticked off about something somebody did. Comedian Lewis Black, the resident angry man of "The Daily Show," returns tonight for a Blaisdell Concert Hall performance at 7:30 p.m. With Thanksgiving coming, chances are the take-no-prisoners humorist has lots to stuff. Tickets from $20 to $55 at (877) 750-4400.
