Since the 1970s, manic-depressive comedian Richard Lewis has been sharing his never-ending neuroses with the public via frantic stand-up sets that serve as crazy therapy sessions in which the Brooklyn-born madman leaves nothing out about his extremely complicated life. A recovering alcoholic, Lewis, sixty-two, who hysterically plays himself on Larry David’s CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, wrote about his addiction in the 2001 memoir THE OTHER GREAT DEPRESSION: HOW I’M OVERCOMING, ON A DAILY BASIS, AT LEAST A MILLION ADDICTIONS AND DYSFUNCTIONS AND FINDING A SPIRITUAL (SOMETIMES) LIFE, while his comedy can be found on such DVDs as CONCERTS FROM HELL and such CDs as LIVE FROM HELL, compiling his work from such appropriately titled specials as I’M EXHAUSTED, I’M IN PAIN, I’M DYING UP HERE, and MAGICAL MISERY TOUR. His current show, “Misery Loves Company,” will be pulling into Comix this weekend for four shows. Be prepared for Lewis to make you laugh on the outside while you’re cringing on the inside.
