Mary
Ellen Rinaldi
Truly a character with character, Mary Ellen Rinaldi has
a distinct style of stand-up that's unique among comics
today. She's funny. She's poignant. She's a superb storyteller.
You'll shake your head as she shakes your world, touching
your heart as she reaches right into the nooks and crannies
of everyday events. She's a step ahead, a cut above, and
all at once sophisticated and simple, universal yet intimate.
She knows you, your kids, your parents, and she's here
to tell you about it.
and
your host for the evening . . .
