Comedian Rita Rudner

Rita took over the role of Lily St. Regis in the long-running musical Annie circa 1979, and stayed with the company for over a year, leaving in 1981. Rudner did not turn to comedy until she was 25, after observing how few female comedians there were compared to the number of female dancers.

Rudner spent many hours researching her favorite comedians, including Woody Allen and Jack Benny. She enjoys Jewish humor, but reserves her Jewish jokes for Jewish audiences. After starting her standup career in the late 1970’s, Rudner made her network television debut on Late Night with David Letterman in 1982.

Rita appeared frequently on television shows both in the US and the UK (recording a six-part series on BBC2 in 1990 in the latter), and she appeared often on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. She has recorded several award-winning comedy specials, most notably Rita Rudner: Born to Be Mild and Rita Rudner: Married Without Children for HBO and Rita Rudner: Live From Las Vegas for PBS in 2008.

Rudner and her husband wrote the screenplay of the 1992 film Peter’s Friends, in which she also acted. Rudner also has a role as the character ‘Bunny’ in her husband’s 2011 film Thanks, which had its world premiere at the 2011 Palm Springs Film Festival. Rudner is the author of the books I Still Have It; I Just Can’t Remember Where I Put It, Naked Beneath My Clothes and the novels Tickled Pink and Turning The Tables.

Rita has written several screenplays and plays with her husband. In January 2016, she appeared in a new play “Act 3…” alongside Charles Shaughnessy at the Laguna Playhouse, directed by Martin Bergman. Since 2001, Rudner has performed almost exclusively in Las Vegas, selling almost two million tickets and becoming the longest-running solo comedy show in Las Vegas.

Rudner moved to a larger theater at The Venetian in January 2011. She also created and hosted the syndicated improvisational comedy show Ask Rita, which mimicked the format of a talk/advice show. For this she received a Gracie Allen Award from the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation (AWM). In May 2009 she performed for Senator Harry Reid and President Barack Obama at Caesars Palace alongside Bette Midler and Sheryl Crow.

• We’ve begun to long for the pitter-patter of little feet – so we bought a dog. Well, it’s cheaper, and you get more feet.
