Lewis Black is very funny live. It the show a benefit of some sort. When DH worked for Aretha Franklin she did a show in Baltimore that sold for $300-$500 per ticket but all the money raised went to the local children's hospital (I think, it was a hospital of some sort). The prices could be extra high because of that. I know when Lewis Black is out here the tickets are usually $50-$100 each.

I am not sure where you live but out in Ca. we have small Indian casinos that have great artists for decent prices. They all have awesome showrooms and great sound. Maybe see if there is a place like that near you.
