Welcome to this little nook of the Internet... this tiny corner of
cyberspace. This is the Official Website of
producer, marketing strategist &
humorist Martin Lewis.
The
British-born Lewis has been based in America since 1982 and is thus
truly RESIDENT Of The UNITED STATES!
"A true Renaissance Man who seems to have done just about
everything in the world of entertainment" - L.A.
Weekly
This website presents news and information about Martin Lewis and
his many current and future projects - including the archive of his
columns written for the website of Time Magazine. It also provides
links to other websites created and hosted by Martin Lewis.
Martin Lewis is blessed (or perhaps cursed!) with a very good
memory -
and is also a packrat of astounding proportions. So this website
also
presents an ever-expanding array of information, background notes,
behind-the-scenes reminiscences, memorabilia, and rare visuals and
audio
on the full range of his past projects.
These projects include his extensive work in his early career as a
producer of films, TV, stage-shows and albums - with Monty Python, Peter
Cook, Billy Connolly and Rowan Atkinson (among many) - a unique
apprenticeship which proved very beneficial when his life took an
unexpected turn in 1990 - and he evolved into a comedic performer and
writer in his own right.
So - from a time dating back to the earliest existence of primitive
plasma on this planet - to the far-off frontiers of the future... from
the quaint rustic hamlet of London's Cricklewood - to
the flashy
fevered fleshpots of America's Hollywood... from
alpha-man to alfalfa
sprouts-man... on this page you will find...
