***SPECIAL ENGAGEMENT***

Perhaps Mel Brooks put it best when he said, “Richard Lewis may just be the Franz Kafka of modern day comedy.”Lewis has taken his life-long therapy fodder and carved it into a commanding and compelling art form. His early career as a stand-up brought him to the top of his ranks and over time he broadened the scope of opportunities so others could share in his brilliantly warped world.

Comedy Central has recognized Mr. Lewis as one of the top 50 stand-up comedians of all time and he was charted on GQ Magazine’s list of the ‘20th Century’s Most Influential Humorists’. Philadelphia’s City Paper says, “Indeed, he is the Jimi Hendrix of monologists, whose virtuoso free-form riffs on ex-girlfriends, family and other antagonistic denizens from hell are delivered in a mesmerizing, stream-of-consciousness frenzy, a piss-yourself-laughing assault on the senses. Not only is he one of the undisputed masters of postmodern comedy, but also to incurable, self-loathing neurotics he is a patron saint who deserves to be canonized.”

Regarded by his peers as a ‘comic’s comic’, Lewis’ neuroses have become a part of our language as in, “I had a date from Hell!” In July ‘95 Lewis performed live stand-up comedy for the first time in over two years with his “Magical Misery Tour.” Shot at New York’s historic Bottom Line HBO aired the one-hour special in December ‘96, making it a rare accomplishment in completing his fourth full hour-long cable special. In December of 1989, Lewis achieved a very personal goal…he performed at Carnegie Hall to a standing room only audience. To close, in his own words–”I go on a long tour and make people happy that they’re not me and go home.”
