News about Lewis Spears

The crowd of 150 men, women, and children (right) surrounded the entrance of the Rubber Chicken Comedy Pub in Melbourne on Tuesday, where comedian Lewis Spears (left) was on stage. The demonstrations erupted after Mr Spears performed a crude stand-up routine ridiculing the Dalai Lama after the Buddhist monk told a young boy to'suck his tongue' (inset) at a public event in India last February.

Lewis Spears, an Australian comedian, has recalled the painful moment when Hollywood actor Zac Efron turned down his call for a selfie backstage. In a TikTok video that went viral this week, Lewis explained the sneaky trick that the High School Musical actor, 35, used to politely turn him down. Zac was so polite in refusing his photo request that he didn't even know he had been turned down until ten minutes later. Zac hired a member of his entourage to photograph the two, including one with the flash on, before telling him they would text him the pictures. Lewis said that, although giving Zac's team their phone number, they never sent over the photos and that most likely they were deleted.
