And on the content front, AIME also announced: Off Broadway is on the Internet ComedyNet to Webcast Lewis Black's One-Man Show, Black Humor, on Oct. 28 NEW YORK--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--Oct. 14, 1998--American Interactive Media Inc.'s (OTC BB:AIME - news) ComedyNet comedynet.com ), the first twenty-four hour, cutting edge, video-streaming network will premiere the webcast of comedian Lewis Black's one man off-Broadway show, Black Humor. The show will debut on Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 8:00 p.m. E.S.T., according to Mark Graff, president and CEO. ''We love Lewis Black,'' says Graff. ''Lewis has been a key supporter of ComedyNet since its inception so it was an easy decision to debut his magnificent show on our network.'' Black Humor sheds the light on life, liberty and the pursuit of holiday shopping in this highly acclaimed, highly acerbic and always amusing one-man show. After over 20 years of headlining at top comedy clubs, writing and producing dozens of plays, appearing in movies such as Hannah and her Sisters and Jacob's Ladder and television shows like Homicide and Mad About You, Lewis Black took his tart-tongued commentary to the stage of the Cherry Lane Theater in New York's Greenwich Village.
