Legend – that’s what she is. Comedienne Rita Rudner has a secret weapon – a lethal wit wrapped up in a soft-spoken delivery. With her gentle voice, porcelain skin and big, crayon-blue eyes, Rita shatters the stereotype of brassy, tough comediennes with poise and sophistication. Rita has parlayed her “niceness” into an impressive list of credits. She won the 1990 American Comedy Award as Best Female Stand-Up. She starred in her own comedy variety series in England, which aired on the BBC 2, and she’s starred in her first solo hour-long special for HBO titled “Born To Be Mild.”In addition, Rita became a regular on “The Tonight Show.” Her other television credits include numerous appearances on “Late Night With David Letterman,” starring in her own HBO “One Night Stand,” being one of four featured comediennes on HBO’s first “Women Of The Night” special and a co-host of the NBC summer series “Funny People.” Rita also made Friars Club history by being the first female comic ever invited to be a “roaster.” Rita is one of the biggest acts in Las Vegas. Rita Rudner must be seen.
