pay per view

Lewis Black is doing what almost no comedians are doing today, broadcasting their specials live via Pay Per View. Old Yeller will air on August 24th from The Borgata Theater in Atlantic City, NJ.

Also, there’s a VIP package for around $1000, give or take $200 or so depending on whether you’re one or two people, will get you front row seats, a meet and greet, two nights hotel, and many other amenities and access to exclusive parties.

Based on how this goes, we wonder if any comedians will follow suit like many have followed Louis CK’s self-producing-distributing comedy special model (including the $1000 VIP package).
