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.

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.

His openness about his battle with Parkinson’s disease and previous surgeries showed his courage and determination to continue working despite serious health problems.

His decision to retire from stand-up comedy was a tough one, but he remained creatively active in writing and acting, emphasizing the importance of adapting to changing life circumstances.
