Stand-Up Comedy
Born and raised in an era when the stand-up comedy scene was still in its infancy, Richard Lewis broke through in the early ’80s.He was a master of the art of self-mockery, bridging personal psychological insights and universal themes of human frustation�and fear.
His appearances on nationally known platforms such as “The Tonight Show,” “The Late Show with David Letterman,” and “The Howard Stern Show” not only helped him reach a wide audience, but also defined the role of the modern stand-up comedian as a social commentator and confessionalist.
