Lewis Schaffer: American in London

The award-winning New York comic takes on England.

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 Schaffer isn't a tourist. He isn't here on business. He's a hostage.

'Who better to give it to us straight than this New Yoiker?' - The Independent

'An hour of nationalistic all-American rhetoric... hilarious.' - Chortle

‘His total indifference to all things British is brilliant. An hour with Lewis Schaffer is an hilarious, cathartic, exhilaratingly appalling experience.’ - The Scotsman
