Lewis Schaffer: Free Until Famous

The acclaimed New York comic now based in the UK comes to Horsham.

Lewis Schaffer isn't a tourist. He isn't here on business. He's a hostage. He was one of the top comics in the home of stand-up comedy, New York City.

But, a short visit to London in 2000 went very wrong when love and marriage took him from his beloved New York and gave him children, divorce and heartache in the UK. Now trapped in Nunhead, a suburb of Peckham, Lewis Schaffer is making the worst of a bad situation.

Lewis was the house compere of the Comedy Cellar and the Boston Comedy Club in New York. In London, he has the longest-running residency at the prestigious Leicester Square Theatre; he is the regular MC of Peter Cook's Establishment Club; and is the star of Nunhead American Radio on Resonance FM London.

Recommended by the Times, The Guardian, The Independent and many other publications and websites.
