The New York ​comic returns to Washington. Pronounced "Shay-fer", Lewis Schaffer combines the comedy genes of Joan Rivers and Jackie Mason with the relevance of the freshest British comedians.​

Lewis Schaffer 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 visits Arts Centre Washington as part of a nationwide tour . Lewis Schaffer isn't a tourist. He isn't here on business. He's a hostage!

Lewis Schaffer's free-wheeling style, often described as "jazz", makes every show different​ and thrilling. Fasten your seat belts!

"An hilarious, cathartic, exhilaratingly

appalling experience" The Scotsman
