Biography


David Brenner says, “Even if you can't spell Karen Rontowski, you'd
better remember it, because she is GREAT!”

Ms. Rontowski describes herself as having an optimistic outlook;
everything is coming up roses when you talk to Karen.  So what if her
therapist says she’s in complete denial.  The truth is, when it comes to
her standup comedy career, everything is coming up roses, or at least
laughter.

Comedian Karen Rontowski’s  upbeat, optimistic and clean sense of
humor has earned her headlining spots all over the world.  She has also
opened for such show biz legends as Bob Hope, Ray Charles and the
Monkees.  Often described as a “New Age Hippie” Rontowski says
“there is no time like the present to be living in the past.”


Karen’s real touring trips (not the ones in her head) include 45 of the 50
states, Canada, Japan, Greenland and all over Europe.   She has also
entertained the troops with tales of her Polish father who once put a
drawbridge on their house… actually he just installed the garage door
upside down.  But that’s Karen….  always accentuating the positive..

A television favorite, you may have seen this hilarious woman on
Comedy Central,  Live at Gotham and Comics Unleashed.  A regular on
the Bob and Tom Radio Show, Karen keeps listeners laughing not only
with her standup, but also when she talks about her other career as a
paranormal investigator.

Recently seen performing in the encore production of David Brenner’s
“What’s so funny?” and the TBS Comedy Festival, Karen just completed
the television pilot, Karen’s Supernatural Junkyard,  in which she spear-
heads  hilarious adventures into supernatural investigations.  Just ask
her about her ghost orbs!  “I am not afraid of ghosts, they’re just people
who don’t know their dead yet.  Like Dick Cheney.”

Rontowski  can also be seen in the movie shorts Return to Sender and
Some Kind of Joke.  And coming up, Supernatural Junkyard
podcasts…stay tuned.   Download her epk at www.comedynorth.com.

What People are saying...

“She wins the audience and has them in the palm of her hand
from the first joke.  This is the kin of off-the-wall yet endearing
comedy that other comics can only dream of achieving”
-Gram Slaton
Executive Director
Wheeler Opera House
Aspen, CO

“Karen was a great success! She turned an otherwise boring
event into an evening full of fun and laughter.  Our biggest
concern was finding an comedienne that was non-offensive and
catered to a sophisticated crowd.  She far surpassed our
expectations.”
-Trevor Callan
Vice President Merrill Lynch

“Karen, your 2 standing ovations were so well deserved!  To say
our conventioneers loved you would be an understatement.  
BRAVO! INCREDIBLE!  These are just a few of the superlatives of
the many compliments we’ve heard from your performance
during the National Association of Purchasing Managers
Convention.”
-George Dare
Entertainment Coordinator and Event Planner For Purchase Pro


“Karen Rontowski stole the show and had the audience in the
palm of her hand as she comfortably paced the stage and offered
her observational comedy.  Karen, ah, Karen!  What a breath of
fresh air she is.”
-Lyle E Davis
Entertainment Critic for The Paper, Escondido, CA

“I wish I had worn panty liners!”
-Cheri Bauer
Audience member

“There are few comedians and even fewer female comedians
that can make you laugh without using blue humor.  Karen
Rontowski may be the funniest woman on the planet and does it
without resorting to humor that can be found offensive which is
important when booking an entertainer for a corporate audience.  
There is no doubt in my mind that Karen is a shinning star that
can top off any corporate event or meeting.”
-Tony Calabrese
President Point Loma Community Bank

-Tom Hanks
Actor

“Comedy with Class!”
-The San Diego Tribune
