Richard Weiss 's Comedian Bio
|
| Bio | Richard Weiss is described by one observer as a performer who is pure heart and soul, "His body language on stage is so grounded and positive. All feeling. No ego." Weiss, a recovering alcoholic from New York City, came to Riverside, CA to attend a rehab facility as a result of an intervention. In 2006, shortly after his first year clean and sober, Richard began writing comedy and debuted his stand-up act at the Hollywood Improv where he closed out the show. The humorist has gone on to perform stand-up in just about every major club in and around Los Angeles. Recently, together with the Improv group the Berubians, he wrote and appeared in the sketch comedy Sketch and the City which ran at the Next Stage Theater. Richard, truly a "Standup Guy" as he’s been called, has helped write for dozens of comedians and has produced his own shows. He is currently filming a comedy film called Another Superhero Story. Grateful to be clean and sober, Weiss feels blessed that he can share his experiences with others in a humorous vein. When asked his view on doing recovery comedy, he responded, "Laughter is a great healer. I want them to have what I’ve found. As they say, You can’t keep it, unless you give it away.’" - Sasha Faynor, Writer/Author (Sex With Strangers) | | Website | for bookings contact: RecoveryComedy.com | | Influences | The comedy gods have many tentacles, you know. And they swoop down and touch you at different times. But when they do it’s like salvation. Or deliverance. It’s as close to flying as man gets. The magic doesn’t happen often, but when you’re on and rolling nothing that I’ve touched comes close. Not cocaine. Not pussy. --- Richard Pryor
Every entertainer has a night when everything is clicking. These nights are accidental and statistical: Like lucky cards in poker, you can count on them occurring over time. What was hard was to be good, night after night, no matter what the abominable circumstances. -- Steve Martin | | Members |
