Richard Lewis, a star of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," has carved his lifelong therapy fodder into a compelling art form. Regarded by his peers as a 'comic's comic', Lewis' neuroses have become a part of our language as in the now infamous, "I had a date from Hell!"

Comedy Central recognized him 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. He has been featured over 100 times on The Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Late Night With Conan O'Brien, Real Time with Bill Maher and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

He's often compared to Lenny Bruce, Hendrix and to jazz itself for his wild riffs that fly out into space but always find a way to float back into rhythm as they splatter recurring themes against a spiraling, lyrical backdrop. Lewis has been called the "Franz Kafka of modern day comedy" by Mel Brooks and the NY Post said, "Richard Lewis built the strongest stand-up comedy career on a blazing trail of neuroses since Woody Allen," but to close, in his own words--"I go on a long tour and make people happy that they're not me and go home.
