Legendary comedian, Shelley Berman, recorded the first comedy record to win a GRAMMY. His great success as a comedian enabled him to continue with his first love - acting. Among Shelley's film credits: THE BEST MAN (with Henry Fonda); DIVORCE, AMERICAN STYLE (with Dick Van Dyke and Debbie Reynolds); EVERY HOME SHOULD HAVE ONE (with Marty Feldman); '80s cult favorite TEEN WITCH; THE LAST PRODUCER (with Burt Reynolds); MEET THE FOCKERS (with Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller); THE ARISTOCRATS; THE HOLIDAY (with Cameron Diaz) and YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN (with Adam Sandler).
Shelley continues to do film and television work, and make personal appearances across the country year-round. He has authored three books, two plays, several TV pilot scripts, and numerous poems. For over twenty years, Shelley taught humor writing in the Master of Professional Writing program at USC, where he is now a Lecturer Emeritus. Shelley spends his (precious little) free time volunteering for various charitable organizations, and indulging in his favorite hobby, knife collecting.
