We are honored to bring you comedy greatness this week as we welcome the elegant, eloquent, enchanting and always entertaining Rita Rudner!

Rita has been a staple in the comedy scene since the early 80s, gracing the stages of clubs, TV talk shows, and theaters including Carnegie Hall! She’s had 10 of her own comedy specials, and has the distinction of having the longest running solo comedy show in Las Vegas history. A woman of many talents, Rita had early success as a Broadway dancer at the young age of sixteen. Years later she seamlessly transitioned into a hugely successful stand-up career, and has added writer to her list of many accomplishments. Rita has written three comedic books, two novels, and co-written three screenplays with her husband Martin Bergman. Her sixth book, a memoir, My Life In Dog Years is available now on her website and Amazon.
