Look what I found out from a friend... it's not sold out yet and I hear he's awesome... here's the info:

RICHARD LEWIS

Live at Joe's Pub at The Public Theater NYC

Friday & Saturday, October 15 & 16

7:30 & 9:30pm each nite

$25

Perhaps Mel Brooks put it best when he said, "Richard Lewis may just be the Franz Kafka of modern day comedy." Lewis has taken his life-long therapy fodder and carved it into a commanding and compelling art form, filled with dark and hilarious stream-of-consciousness personal observations. His early career as a stand-up brought him to the top of his ranks introducing others to his brilliantly warped world. This year, along with continuing stand-up appearances, Lewis returns, for his fourth season, as a recurring guest star as one of Larry David's closest friends (as is true in real life) in the Seinfeld co-creator's HBO series, "Curb Your Enthusiasm." Called "the most audacious comic wordsmith this side of Lenny Bruce...perhaps the most gifted comedian of his generation," by the Chicago Tribune, Lewis also charted on GQ Magazine's list of the '20th Century's Most Influential Humorists'. Don't miss this rare, intimate appearance of one of America's finest comics. "Indeed, he is the Jimi Hendrix of monologists, whose virtuoso free-form riffs on ex-girlfriends, family and other antagonistic denizens from hell are delivered in a mesmerizing, stream-of-consciousness frenzy, a piss-yourself-laughing assault on the senses. Not only is he one of the undisputed masters of postmodern comedy, but also to incurable, self-loathing neurotics he is a patron saint who deserves to be canonized". -Philadelphia City Paper www.richardlewisonline.com

Richard Lewis is great to see live.
I saw him a dozen or so years ago in NJ. He's one of my faves.
