The End of the Universe is Lewis Black's second album, recorded at The Punchline in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, 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.

[2] A limited vinyl picture-disk edition of 500 was released by Stand Up!

The edition was signed by Black before the manufacturing process was completed.

The CD version of the album features a hidden track including outtakes of Lewis yelling at hecklers and muffing a couple jokes.
