The digs for Lewis Black's upcoming comedy special may look familiar to Twin Cities residents. Black's show, "In God We Rust," was taped last May at Minneapolis's Historic State Theatre. It airs at 9 p.m. March 17 on EPIX.

Black told my colleague Tom Horgen last May that the area has a great comedy audience and particularly gave a shout out to the Acme Comedy Co. where he recorded his second CD.
