Remember Rita? She’s sort of a cross between a fairy godmother and Gracie Allen, with her own style and grace, delivering innocent questions and observations with a delivery that packs a punch.
She’s originally from Miami and was a dancer on Broadway before entering the comedy biz. Woody Allen and Jack Benny are considered influences. More recently she can often be found performing in Vegas.
It might be fun to try to write a joke each week in the style of the featured performer. By trying, it reveals just how professional these performers really are. They make it look easy.
Typical WCS Disclaimer: Not all jokes are funny to all people. Almost every comedy legend featured here has told a joke that make me cringe, but being offensive is sometimes part of comedy. Also, some of these videos are old, and contain jokes that may have been funny years ago, but are no longer. If the prospect of hearing a potentially offensive or insulting joke gives you shivers, do not watch these.
