The End of the Universe


The End of the Universe is Lewis Black's second album, recorded at The Punchline in Atlanta, Georgia, on two separate date ranges: August 24–26, 2001 and March 8–10, 2002, and released on July 1, 2002.
The title refers to Black's belief that the end of the universe is in Houston, Texas, where two Starbucks coffeehouses are located across the street from each other. In 2020, one of the two Starbucks locations closed, ending the "End of the Universe" title.
