Soft spoken and clever, Rita Rudner could hardly be called offensive. Her humor is in fact, very, very palatable. Most of her comedy revolves the "square" persona she has developed for the stage. She's offbeat and intelligent and focuses the minutia of every day life and love. She manages to be clean- without being boring. Because of this, Ms. Rudner has a very mainstream appeal; she is a staple of American comedy. Rita Rudner made Friars Club history by being the first woman comic ever invited to be a "roaster" for Chevy Chase, was a regular on The Johnny Carson Show, performed at The George Burns 95th Birthday Special and The Bob Hope Christmas Special. Ms. Rudner also made an appearance in the First Women of the Night comedy special where she was one of four honored comedians. She has been on Comic Relief and had her own HBO One Night Stand entitled Born to Be Mild. In 1990, she won the American Comedy Award for Best Female Stand-up. Ms. Rudner has a history of sold-out shows all over the USA, England, Australia, and even in such far away exotic places as Las Vegas. |
