October 16-17: Eleanor J. Kerrigan
Eleanor J. Kerrigan is the latest in a long line of historically funny women who cut their teeth at the World Famous Comedy Store. Starting out as a waitress there, Eleanor learned the ropes of comedy, all the while making the best comics in the country laugh, in the kitchen of the club. It would take several years and lots of pushing from one of her biggest fans, Andrew Dice Clay, to finally get her to take her comedic talents to the stage. After co-starring with him in “Dice Undisputed”, Dice invited Eleanor to go on the road with him to promote the show. “I’m an actress not a stand up!” she replied. After seeing her one woman show, Andrew would no longer take no for an answer. “You’re hysterical and everyone should know that!” he said, and Eleanor’s been performing stand up in clubs and theaters around the country ever since.
Her hilarious take on life comes from her unique experiences growing up street-savvy in South Philly, as one of 10 children in a very Irish-Catholic family. She paints an uproarious portrait of her life experiences, beginning with her childhood in a three bedroom row home and moving to her adventures as an adult living in L.A... Eleanor’s shoot-from-the-hip take on life is both refreshing and exciting. She’s not afraid to give the audience a piece of her mind and they love her for it.
Eleanor is also a graduate of the esteemed Joanne Baron and D.W. Brown acting studio in Santa Monica, California, following in the footsteps of acting greats such as Halle Berry and Patrick Dempsey. She’s had audiences rolling as one of the motorcycle riding, pool cue wielding tag team called “Harley’s Angels” on UPN’s “Women of Wrestling” and has made countless appearances on other major networks such as Nickelodeon and VH1.

Marla Schultz also starred as herself on E! Entertainment Television’s “The Entertainer” with Wayne Newton. Ten contestants competed to be Wayne Newton’s opening act. When Marla’s mother found out that Wayne Newton recently filled for bankruptcy, she said “I guess he was hoping the show would do something for his career. You’re not the only one who got nothing.” Thanks Mom.
Marla Schultz began her standup career in New York City where she is a regular at The Comic Strip, Gotham Comedy Club and Caroline’s. When in Los Angeles, where she now resides, you can catch Marla at the The Comedy Union, Ice House and the Improv. The Manhattan Association of Cabarets/MAC Awards nominated Marla Schultz as outstanding female comedian and she is a member of the Friars Club.
