After an amazing performance inside the legendary The Laugh Factory comedy club in Hollywood, CA, Leah Rudick talks about her journey from sketch comedy in New York to stand-up in Los Angeles, and sharing her excitement about performing at the Laugh Factory.
She began performing comedy in NYC with her sketch duo Skinny Bitch Jesus Meeting. Her comedy festival appearances include Edinburgh Fringe, New York Sketchfest, Fringe Festival NYC, Los Angeles Comedy Festival, Charleston Comedy Festival, East to Edinburgh at 59E59, Capital Fringe Festival in DC, Women in Comedy Festival, FRIGID New York and Out of Bounds. The duo had been critics picks in Time Out New York, Washington Post, and Charleston City Paper. They were listed as one of the twenty-five funny people who should have their own television show by Complex Magazine.
Rudick would later move to Los Angeles and immediately became a strong female presence in comedy clubs among her peers, showcasing her talents on Don’t Tell Comedy, HBO, and SF Sketchfest. Leah’s stand-up was also featured on Comedy Dynamics’ Coming to the Stage.
