RETTA

RETTA was born to immigrant parents in what is often known as the armpit of America... Newark, New Jersey. Upon graduating from Duke University, she went into the pharmaceutical research field and soon found out that drugs were not the way to go. She left the chemistry job and moved to Los Angeles for a life in comedy. She immediately found success at the open mics and soon was showcasing at NACA conferences. During the past 5 years, RETTA has traveled to every state in the union sharing her stories about family and friends and even those not-so-happy people at the popular fast food chains. Retta has performed her brand of comedy in her own half hour special COMEDY CENTRAL Presents - RETTA; Premium Blend & The Soup. You can watch her in such movies as "Slackers", "Dickie Roberts-Former Child Star" and "First Sunday".

Check her out in the new Amy Poehler series "Parks & Recreation"!!!
