Rick Lewis Biography
Rick Lewis is an entertainer, keynote speaker, and author known for his work in organizational change and corporate entertainment. Lewis has built a career around the concept of "Intelligent Misbehavior," which encourages challenging cultural norms that can limit individual and organizational growth. Combining entertainment, social commentary, and practical guidance, Lewis offers a distinctive approach to business transformation and leadership development.
Early in his career, Lewis worked professionally as an actor, dancer, acrobat, and musical theater performer. He left college to join the cast of the Broadway touring production of the musical "Barnum," performing internationally in more than 70 cities. This experience inspired Lewis to create a solo physical comedy act that blended theater, circus arts, dance, and athletics.
Lewis later developed training programs that integrate comedy and theater to educate and motivate individuals and organizations. His presentations often involve audience participation, featuring circus stunts, juggling, and unicycling, while delivering messages focused on clarity, professionalism, and satisfaction in business and personal development.
Lewis has performed at events attended by high-profile figures, including the Clintons, the Prime Minister of Canada, Bill Gates, the international board of Mastercard, and management teams from Fortune 500 companies across North America. He has appeared at more than 2,500 events over three decades. His "World's Funniest Waiter" routine, in which he poses as an eccentric server before revealing himself as the headline act, is a recognized feature at corporate events and conferences.
In addition to his work as a performer and speaker, Lewis has contributed to business literature. His book, "7 Rules You Were Born to Break," introduced the concept of "Intelligent Misbehavior" to the business community. Other works include "Confident Under Pressure," "You Have the Right to Remain Silent," "The Perfection of Nothing," "The Unbranded Self," and "Sounding the Alarm on Business as Usual." Lewis continues to offer programs that use comedy and theater to support professional development, with "Intelligent Misbehavior" as the central theme of his corporate presentations and trainings.
