Elayne Boosler is one of the busiest and most popular
comedians touring the country today. She is one of the few comedians who can sell out
theaters across the country. Okay, Elayne refers to some of them as "small"
theaters, but theaters none the less!
She explains her burning desire to graduate from performing in clubs to
performing her one woman concert in theaters thusly: "I really wanted to be able to
deliver a full circle, rich evening of entertainment to the audience without distractions,
and I also wanted to get off work early enough to be able to get food."
As the very first young, unmarried, dressed-up-for-a-date female comic,
she was an instant success with audiences. They were more than ready for a slice of life
approach to comedy from a woman, just the way they had accepted it from the new breed of
male comics of the time like Robert Klein, Richard Pryor, David
Brenner, etc. She did
countless appearances on all the talk shows of the day, did countless variety specials and
toured the country as the opening act for practically every single musical group in
America.
Appearances ran the gamut of performance venues, including playing
clubs, 35,000 seat fairs, Las Vegas, Tahoe, concerts, theaters in the round, colleges,
Atlantic City, rodeos, speedways, festivals and you name it.
She funded her first special, "Party
of One" which aired on
Showtime in 1986. People Magazine gave it an 'A'. John J. O'Connor in the New
York Times wrote, "....how refreshing, a woman who doesn't have to tear her own skin
off for our amusement...an attractive human being simply standing there being funny, the
first to feel she doesn't have to be grotesque." HBO immediately announced its
new series of specials, "Women of the Night." And suddenly women comedians
were everywhere! All kinds. And life was good.
