An accomplished actress, screenwriter, best-selling author and comedian, Rudner’s witty and elegant material has earned her national acclaim and awards. A frequent guest on both “Late Night with David Letterman” and “The Tonight Show” in the early ‘90s, Rudner also appeared often on HBO. Her first 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. In 2008, “Rita Rudner: Live From Las Vegas” was PBS’s first ever stand-up comedy special.
