Richard Lewis’ Bundle of Nerves
Comedian, actor, and author Richard Lewis just released last week his new DVD box set “Bundle of Nerves”. Ronnie Wood’s portrait of Richard Lewis is featured on the cover of the box set. We love Ronnie Wood here at Govinda and it was our great pleasure to host his first-ever exhibition in the United States in 1987.
I went to see Lewis’ sold-out performance at Caroline’s Comedy Club in New York this past weekend. It was brilliant. The New York Times on Friday highlighted Lewis’ show and wrote “This renowned comedian, often considered an heir to Lenny Bruce, is a master of long-form storytelling who turns his endless neurotic energy into brilliant comedy.”
Lewis is releasing this spring his much-anticipated book Reflections From Hell, with drawings by artist extraordinaire Carl Titolo. Reflections From Hell is being published by powerHouse Books and includes a preface by Govinda Gallery director Chris Murray.
