The couple’s first play – Room 776 – ran as part of the 2008 season of the Las Vegas Little Theatre.

Rudner is a frequent collaborator with her writer/producer husband of twenty six years, Martin Bergman. In 2008, “Rita Rudner: Live From Las Vegas” was PBS’s first ever stand-up comedy special. Rudner’s two one-hour specials for HBO filled Carnegie Hall in New York three times and the Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles twice. Rita’s first solo HBO special, “Rita Rudner’s One Night Stand,” was nominated for several awards, as was her eponymous English BBC television show that later appeared in the USA on A&E. In the early ‘80s, Rudner took a full-time leap from chorus lines to punch lines and was soon a regular guest on both “Late Night With David Letterman” and “The Tonight Show.” It was while in Annie on Broadway that she began exploring the comedy clubs of Manhattan. She appeared in several shows, including the original productions of Follies and Mack and Mabel. Rita Rudner moved to New York at the age of fifteen to become a dancer on Broadway.
