He has also appeared on MTV, VH1 and Comedy Central in addition to various television and film roles acting roles. He has worked with Richard Pryor, Rita Rudner, Sam Kinison, Bobcat Goldthwait and Jeff Ross to name a few and spent four years touring with one of his closest friends and cult comedy legend, the late Mitch Hedberg.



Rich’s show is a “quirky” mix of true-life experiences, a healthy dose of observational humor and a lot of improvisation. Being a trained improviser and super quick wit, you never know what direction Rich’s show is going to take as he loves to play with the crowd and keep the audience not just laughing but also thinking just a little bit.
