Rita Rudner

A house-filling favorite in Las Vegas since she opened as one of the hottest tickets in town in June 2000, Rudner is known for her epigrammatic one-liners. Over the course of a multi-year run she sold almost two million tickets, grossed over a hundred million dollars and become the longest-running solo female comedy show in the history of Las Vegas. She was named Las Vegas’s Comedian of The Year nine years in a row and in 2006 received The Nevada Ballet’s Woman Of The Year Award. In October 2017 she was given the Casino Entertainment Legend Award. Rudner is a frequent collaborator with her writer/producer husband of thirty years, Martin Bergman. The couple’s first produced film script was Peter’s Friends. The script was nominated for a WGA Best Screenplay Award and Rita won Best Supporting Actress at the American Comedy Awards. In 2022, Rita returned to live performance with a series of concerts across the USA. Her memoir My Life In Dog Years was published in December of that year, and in January 2023 she appeared at the Laguna Playhouse in the world premier of STAGED, a new comedy written by Martin Bergman and her. In February, she featured as a guest star in an episode of Magnum P.I. on NBC.
