Keith Habersberger, Alex Lewis, and Hughie Stone Fish of Lewberger are a handsome trio currently selling out shows across the U.S. and Canada. The three share how their 3-man comedy band started and what drew them to comedy. Each talk about their background, with Alex sharing his musical theatre experience, Keith his improv experience, and Hughie his songwriting experience. Keith used to tour with an improv group out of college where he learned to do video production which is how he ended up in the world of Buzzfeed and Try Guys. The three reflect on their dynamic as a comedy group and their formula for their comedy music. The three recall their turning points in terms of taking themselves seriously as a comedy band and pursuing bigger things for their group, which include opening for Garfunkel and Oates at a music festival in 2016 and getting amazing reception from their audience and doing one-take videos on TikTok. For a long time, the group struggled with how they came across to some people, but today, they can confidently say that they're a musical theatre comedy act. They also give an overview of "Lewberger & The Wizard of Friendship", an interactive comedy show best described as “wildly theatrical” that had a successful Off-Broadway run. Currently in a period of growth, Lewberger is cooking up more projects and strategizing to reach more goals, one of which is to keep making people laugh.
