Dennis Blair 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.

Dennis has appeared regularly in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Lake Tahoe, Reno and Laughlin with such major celebrities as Rodney Dangerfield, Joan Rivers, Jackie Mason, the Beach Boys, Gloria Estefan, Tom Jones and George Carlin with whom he toured for over eighteen years in the U.S. and Canada.

He has appeared on “The Tonight Show” several times and co-hosted the “Stephanie Miller Radio Show” with Elayne Boosler.  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. Dennis has also released two standup comedy CD’s, “Live Performance Anxiety,” and “Words, Music and Drunks,” as well as a CD of original songs called “I Sleep Naked in the Rain.”
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.”

“He has the fastest comedy mind of anyone I ever met.  If life is fair, he should make it big”
– Rodney Dangerfield

“The only person who can make me belly-laugh.”
- George Carlin
