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, and has been performing almost exclusively there ever since. Her Vegas show has sold over one million tickets grossing in over 50 million dollars.
Rudner has recorded many award-winning comedy specials including, Rita Rudner's One Night Stand, Rita Rudner: Born to Be Mild, Rita Rudner: Married Without Children for HBO®, and Rita Rudner: Live From Las Vegas for PBS. Rudner has also written four books, including two novels (Tickled Pink and Turning the Tables). Her non-fiction books are the best-selling Naked Beneath My Clothes and Rita Rudner's Guide to Men. 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.
A frequent collaborator with her writer/producer husband of 20 years, Martin Bergman, the movie Peter's Friends was the couple's first produced film script. Starring Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie, Imelda Staunton, and Kenneth Branagh, the film won the Peter Seller's award for best comedy film of the year. Peter's Friends was released in the U.S. on DVD in February 2008.
