Rita Rudner

Rare out of Las Vegas appearance! Voted “Best Comedian in Las Vegas” by the Las Vegas Review-Journal for the last eight years, Rita Rudner has become one of Las Vegas’ most beloved performers. After ending a six-year run at New York-New York in August of 2006, Rudner began performing nightly at Harrah’s Las Vegas in October of 2006. Now celebrating more than 2,000 witty performances in Las Vegas, Rita’s ticket sales have grossed over $50 million and her contract was recently extended to January 2012.

Her first solo HBO special, Rita Rudner’s One Night Stand, was nominated for several awards, as was her English BBC television show which later appeared on A&E. Rita’s two one-hour specials for HBO, Born to Be Mild and Married Without Children, were ratings standouts and she performed all over the country, filling Carnegie Hall three times and the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles twice.

Her latest book of essays—I Still Have It…I Just Can’t Remember Where I Put It—was published by Harmony Books in the summer of 2008.
