LISTEN AND READ

Often compared to the late Lenny Bruce, Richard Lewis is regarded by his peers as a "comic's comic." The Brooklyn native's credits include his own HBO specials, the sitcom Anything But Love, the drama series 7th Heaven, and HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm, with his childhood friend, Larry David. In '00, Lewis added author to his résumé with his acclaimed autobiography, The Other Great Depression, which he's currently updating for reprint. He's also on the road with his "Misery Loves Company Stand-Up Tour."
