Rita Rudner – Headliner for CJE SeniorLife Celebrates

Comedian who sold over one million tickets during her Las Vegas residency has embarked on a tour and performance at North Shore Center. She lives both in Las Vegas and Laguna Beach with husband Martin Bergman.

She delivers her observations of life’s everyday absurdities with few physical gestures, a bemused tilt of the head, and perfectly timed pauses that add an extra punchline or two.

Early Life and Education

Rudner began researching comedy at Manhattan clubs as she performed Annie on Broadway to make money, only to realize she could make more by becoming a stand-up comic than in musical.

Rudner is known for her observational, wryly humorous comedy that is beautifully delivered. Unlike Roseanne Barr or Whoopi Goldberg/Judy Tenuta, she doesn’t rely on sarcasm for laughs nor perform off-color routines that may contain sexual references.

Rudner has also written several film scripts with her husband and screenwriter Martin Bergman. Their first produced film, Peter’s Friends, featured Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie, Kenneth Branagh, Imelda Staunton and Stephen Fry – it won the Evening Standard Peter Sellers award! She lives with Martin in Laguna Beach where Rudner performs at various venues each week. The couple have one daughter named Molly.

Professional Career

Rita Rudner started out her career as a Broadway dancer before transitioning into comedy as one of the first female stand-up comedians during the humor boom of the 80s. Her signature observational style has earned her numerous awards and honors.

Rudner has become a familiar face on television, appearing regularly on Late Night with David Letterman and The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Additionally, she hosted Ask Rita – a syndicated daily TV program wherein a panel of celebrities would provide guidance in an informal manner to viewers with personal issues submitted via text message.

Veteran comedian Roseanne Barr is currently performing her long-running Las Vegas show while living in Southern California with her husband, writer Martin Bergman. They collaborated on two movies together – Peter’s Friends and Thanks (2011).
