Bucky Lewis’ Bio

Bucky Lewis is well-known throughout New England as an entertainer “from up north” who has one of the funniest and wittiest shows people have ever seen. “It’s a unique one-man comedy and musical comedy show that is more of an experience than a show” Lewis says.

He is known by his legion of loyal fans for his outrageous character comedy routines: the Taxi Driver, the Northern Redneck, the Chinese Bartender, the Pizza Boy, and many more. Formally educated in music – he plays guitar and sings also – his famous quick wit is what stands out, and has kept Bucky making his audiences laugh for over 25 years.

He is known for bringing people on stage for spontaneous interaction, as well as a dynamic flow which contains all aspects of comedy: stand- up, character, interaction, and music. His material is endless, and he is known to perform 3 hours straight, all while making people fall on the floor laughing.

Throughout his career he has earned money as a writer, actor, television host, lead singer and guitarist in a rock band, stand-up comedian and motivational speaker. Lewis currently helps people raise money doing fundraisers in the form of Adult Comedy Nights which fits in with his mantra: “using laughter as a weapon”. He is currently writing a book for business about ‘Using humor to increase sales in a down economy”.

He was born in Laconia, New Hampshire, to a musical family that once performed for Ronald Reagan. He resides in his native State of New Hampshire with his wife Tyra and Molly, a Brittany spaniel, on the “Funny Farm” in the Town of Antrim.
