Lee Levine's comedy career started innocently enough in the sixth grade, when a well-meaning Mrs. Moore asked, “Do you want to do that in front of the whole class?” That year he won the Bel Air Elementary School talent show, sharing first place honors with two break-dancing robot guys.
The youngest of three, Lee was born in Norfolk, Virginia and had moved to groovy Marin County, California at the age of ten. Lee was exposed to comedy at a young age. His father would play Woody Allen, Steve Martin, and Richard Pryor albums. Gary, his older brother and now an English professor, exposed him to Monty Python, Kurt Vonnegut, and regular beatings.
Lee began doing stand-up in San Francisco. It was there he began to form his high-energy style that lampoons the absurdities of modern life, and the obscenities of consumer and popular culture. Lee was quickly working clubs, colleges, restaurants, bars, and sawmills all over the Pacific Northwest.
Currently, Lee can be seen touring top comedy clubs and heard nationally on XM/Sirius Satellite Radio, or “The Bob and Tom Show.” Lee is most proud of his work entertaining US Troops for Armed Forces Entertainment in Iraq and Afghanistan. Take that Robot Guys!
