Rick Lewis

Rick Lewis is a comedian, entertainer, and author known for his “Break a Rule” program, which encourages what Lewis calls “intelligent misbehavior.”

Lewis has authored a total of four books on personal growth, including “7 Rules You Were Born to Break: How Intelligent Misbehavior Can Help You and Your Organization Thrive.” Lewis owns and manages Break a Rule, the vision of which is to fill the world with people who love what they do. He currently lives in Vancouver, BC with his wife and three children, traveling extensively throughout North America giving presentations and trainings for corporate events and conferences.

Lewis has been performing his entire life – he has been performing professionally since the age of eight when he first appeared in television commercials and a professional dinner theater production of the musical stage play, Mame, at the Center Stage Playhouse in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

He entertained at Chelsea Clinton’s birthday party when Bill Clinton was still the governor of Arkansas. He attended Webster University’s renowned theater arts program. He left Webster to join the cast of a Broadway touring production of the hit musical Barnum, with which he traveled internationally for a nine-month period, playing in over 70 cities. Lewis was a street performer for a number of years, learning to engage and captivate audiences directly without the benefit of staging and production support. The challenge of his years on the street provided an extraordinary degree of experience in both the craft of entertainment, comedy, and audience satisfaction as well as with human and crowd psychology.

He has performed various versions of his routines at over 2,500 events and gatherings over a period of 30 years.
