Comedian Profile

Rachel Rothenberg is a Brooklyn-based stand-up comedian who grew up in Connecticut, where she learned to enunciate crisply, and who began performing in Utah, where the pressure to be wholesome corrupted her. Someone once told her to talk slower, and they were wrong. Onstage, she extracts the absurd from the relatable, eliciting laughter, screams, and exclamations of, "That was funny!" You can catch her rolling her ankles all over New York City.
