Richard Lewis was amazing but the opening acts were weak. The guy presenting seemed bored, slow and tired....and the kid is in his 20s. The second guy had some good moments, but not consistently. The contrast just showed how talented Richard Lewis is. He was so in the moment. He brought the crowd in to his world. I felt like I was actually swimming in his neurotic brain. It was quite the ride.
The warmup act was terrific - the Australian guy - what was his name again?
Richard Lewis' act was lackluster. As I looked on, the word that kept crossing my mind was, "Tweeked". Now I enjoy high-energy entertainment - yet Lewis' act was more like what I'd picture when imagining a Chihuahua on sterioids. While it was energetic, it was jumpy, disconnected, almost manic.
While there were some bona-fide humorous points in Lewis' act, the forgotten punchlines and meandering topics left me somewhat entertained, however a bit disappointed.
Although I have watched Curb Your Enthusiasm, I didn't really know what Richard Lewis would be like (I don't remember seeing him in any episodes). I enjoyed the 2 opening acts, but Richard Lewis came onto the stage like he just had a speed-ball or something. He was just rambling and rambling, and jumping from topic to topic, sometimes changing gears/topics/thoughts mid-sentence, in a very ADHD way. I didn't find him to be funny, just kind of annoying. Also hearing him talk about sex was too much. I would not see Richard Lewis again, not my style.
Go see Chicken Scratch instead! They're way more fun! http://www.chickenscratchimprov.com/

Richard Lewis has taken his lifelong therapy fodder and carved it into a commanding, compelling art form. Currently on his “Misery Loves Company Stand-Up Tour,” Lewis is also appearing in his sixth season of “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” where he was nominated by SAG for his recurring guest star role, playing true-to-life as one of Larry David’s closest friends.
Richard Lewis is often compared to a jazz musician 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. Recognized by Comedy Central as one of the top 50 stand-up comedians of all time, Lewis was also charted on GQ Magazine’s list of the “20th Century’s Most Influential Humorists.” He has released a box set called “Concerts From Hell” containing three of his comedy specials, two of which earned ACE nominations, and in his highly acclaimed, autobiographical memoir, “The OTHER Great Depression,” Lewis disrobes his substance abuse and recovery, skewing it in his unique way.
Richard Lewis co-starred with Jamie Lee Curtis for four years on ABC’s critically acclaimed series “Anything But Love,” and has made numerous other television appearances, including guest roles on “Two and a Half Men,” “The Dead Zone” and “Alias.” Late night TV viewers will recognize him from his frequent guest appearances on “The Late Show,” “The Tonight Show,” “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” and “Real Time with Bill Maher.”
