| He is considered
to be one of the most significant links in the history
of comedy, admired by such people as Eric Bogosian and
Woody Allen. His television appearances have spanned
from Merv Griffin to Dick Cavett to David Letterman.
His long running Off-Broadway show was hailed as "diabolical
genius." He is Brother Theodore. A former millionaire
playboy in the late 1930's of Germany, Theodore endured
the sobering loss of his entire family, his fortune,
and his own identity, as a survivor of Dachau concentration
camp. Shipped to America, humiliated and stunned, Theodore
yearned to reclaim his high-status and wealth. Continually
haunted by his loss, and hindered as a displaced foreigner,
he tapped "the power of despair" to re-invent
himself, capitalizing on his dark, existential humor—to
become one of America's most respected humorists and
monologists.
