DENNIS BLAIR…
…. Is a true Renaissance man. He is an accomplished
screenwriter, award-winning songwriter and comedic actor.
Yet he is probably best known for the caustic observations
and musical satires of his live comedy performances.
Early in his career, Rodney Dangerfield made him his
protégé, and together they toured the United States and
Canada for over three years. Dennis conceived and co-
wrote Rodney’s hit movie, “Easy Money”, and also played
two cameo roles. He co-wrote and was a featured actor in
two Dangerfield specials on ABC, and was creative
consultant for the album “Rappin’ Rodney”. The title song
(which he co-wrote) was nominated for a Grammy Award.
His post-Rodney career has seen him opening for a
multitude of celebrities such as Tom Jones, The Beach
Boys, Garry Shandling, Joan Rivers, Gloria Estefan, Jackie
Mason, and George Carlin, with whom he toured for over
eighteen years. He appeared on “The Tonight Show”
several times. He won an Emmy Award for both writing and
voiceovers for the animated film “Confessions of a
Standup”. He has a book, “Me First”, about his experiences
opening for some of the most famous celebrities in show
business. He has released two standup comedy CD’s, “Live
Performance Anxiety”, and “Words, Music and Drunks” as
well as an album of original songs called “I Sleep Naked in
the Rain”. He has also dabbled in theater, starring in Los
Angeles in his self-penned, one-man musical comedy
entitled “Also Appearing…”, about the ups and downs of his
career as an opening act. And his new screenplay, “The
Money Trail”, is being optioned by a production company in
Hollywood.
Meanwhile, he continues to headline in comedy clubs and at
corporate events and open for major celebrities, and also
appears from time to time in the road production of “The Rat
Pack is Back” as comedian Joey Bishop.
Movies, TV shows, theaters, comedy clubs, comedy and
music albums, a book, a play…has he had his fill? “As long
as there are jokes to be written,” says Dennis, “and as long
as my bank account remains at zero, I’ll be around.”
