Comedy Showcase: Rita Rudner on Her Mother-in-Law, Smart Cars, and GPS

We've been big fans of Rita Rudner ever since she started to appear on late night TV in the 1980s.

One of the hallmarks of her comedy is that it's clean, free from the vulgarity and shouting that many stand-up comics find necessary.  Her delivery is demure, tasteful, full of wry observations, and very funny.

Rudner started her career as a dancer, then switched to stand-up comedy about her dating experiences.  She married British producer Martin Bergman about 30 years ago and they have a daughter.  She is fond of Jewish humor but generally reserves it for when she performs for Jewish audiences.

Video clips of her recent performances have been posted on YouTube. Today we're sharing her observations on her 90-year-old mother-in-law, smart cars, and Global Positioning Systems.

 

Enjoy!
