Richard Shultis

Rich Shultis is originally from Kingston, NY (the first capital of New York) where he grew up as a small town kid with eight brothers and two step sisters.  Though getting started in the standup comedy world at a relatively advanced age, he quickly moved up through the ranks due to his vast life experience, hard work, professionalism and most importantly, his outrageously funny material.  Starting out at open mics in NYC and any other venue that would allow him to perform; Rich quickly caught the eye of club managers, owners, booking agents and producers.

In just a few short years he has become a regular at many of the major NYC comedy clubs including New York, Broadway, Laugh Lounge and Gotham.  He has also performed at venues throughout the country sharing the same stage with the likes of Jim Gaffigan, Dean Edwards, Ted Alexandro, Tom Shilue, Rich Voss, Joe Matarese and Dave Attell to name a few.  Rich has established himself as a reliable and professional comedian with the reputation of always bringing his “A” game.  Whether hosting, performing a guess spot or featuring, he can always be counted on to do a great job, leaving the audience in stitches and wanting more.
