Massachusetts-born, LA-based Erica Rhodes is a multi-hyphenate perfomer capable of renowned work in film, television, in the streaming realm as well as in front of a live audience. She made her debut on A Prairie Home Companion and appeared in the movie, cinecasts and live shows, both as a performer and a writer, since the age of 11. More recently, she has focused on stand up and has been writing and performing comedy routines for the past 8 years. Her first hour long special has just been released and it's called La Vie En Rhodes.
PREVIEW: La Vie En Rhodes
Purchase La Vie en Rhodes: iTunes Video >>> Amazon MP3 >>>
'La Vie en Rhodes' is your most recent comedy special. It follows 'Sad Lemon'. This special was filmed and will be released on Amazon Prime and other streaming services as well as having the 'old school' comedy album release on CD/MP3. What can you tell us about 'La Vie en Rhodes'?
I can tell you that La Vie en Rhodes is my very first one hour special. It does have some overlap with 'Sad Lemon,' since I never shot some of those jokes, but it also has a bunch of new stuff too. I didn't originally plan to shoot it as a drive-in. It was supposed to be part of the Tribeca Film Festival and shot in NYC, but obviously that all got cancelled, so they changed the plan. I was a little worried about doing it as a drive-in, but I was ready to move on from those jokes, so decided to go through with it. It definitely was a unique experience, but comedy has always been strange, so not much scares me anymore.
Fans who are familiar with your work know that you tend to include a lot of personal stories within your shows. . . do you find it difficult to open yourself up to your audience that much?
I like being open and honest with my audiences. I feel like the truth connects more, and it's easier to commit to the truth. If I start fabricating stuff for a laugh, it's not really as fun for me. So, I've always preferred to tell truthful stories. Maybe I can get to another layer of truth though. Working on that!

A Prairie Home Companion: Erica Rhodes
-
How would you describe your comedy style? I have heard fans describe it as part observational, part relationship and part simply living your life. . . tied in a PG13 style . . . with critics stating that you are finding a unique voice and style in a male dominated industry-
Hmmm I think it's personal mixed with observational. But mostly just my own weird genre of comedy. Not sure what it is! Maybe I'm still figuring it out, but I am definitely aspiring to longer bits, so maybe I'm evolving into more of a storyteller. Who knows?!
-
Since anything can happen in front of a live audience, what is the funniest thing or event that has occurred while you were on stage?
-
I'm not sure I can think of just one. The last show I did, I asked the audience something which is meant to be rhetorical, "How many people did you want to see naked today?" And a girl sitting by herself in the front pointed at a guy at another table. And then she basically admitted to the entire audience that she wanted to see that (random) guy naked. She gave him her number after the show, and I was in awe of her bravery! Plus, it was quite a scene!
-
You have been doing stand up for 8 years and played up to 10 sets per week with acting jobs thrown in. . .and this concert saw a big difference. . . in your previous stand up sets, you have appeared in front of various sized audiences from small venues to extremely large venues, how was it playing to a bunch of cars? The drive in style set up was driven by the pandemic, I am sure, but could you hear and respond to the audience?
-
It definitely was a challenge. I had never done a show exactly like that, though I had performed for troops in Poland in a parking lot, but they were sitting outside, not in cars. Still, it probably helped me prepare. They did mic some of the cars, so luckily I could hear some laughter. Without that, it would have been impossible! The honking took some getting used to as well, but eventually I just felt it as energy, and fed off any sound I could get!
-
Erica Rhodes with Garrison
You made your first A Prairie Home Companion performance at age 10. . . what do you remember about that show?
I remember standing on a box so I could reach the mic. I remember sharing a dressing room with Allison Janney. She taught me a vocal warm-up and was very kind to me.
And I remember playing Garrison's conscience and wondering why the crowd was laughing so hard!
-
A Prairie Home Companion: 'Radio Drama'
You have stated that all the things you learned at PHC taught you how to do stand up. "I learned how to write in my own voice." Did the way the show was put together prep you for live audiences because, as the acting cast has stated, re-writes were common and sometimes at the very last minute (sometimes with Garrison re-writing over a cast members shoulder while live). . . which sets one up for a impromptu, LIVE experience in front of an audience. Is this what set you up for stand up? Or was it the work of writing sketches and finding the comedy?
-
Pretty much everything I did with PHC prepared me for stand-up without my realizing it at the time: The live audiences, the last minute changes, the high pressure of a live performance. Then later when Garrison had me write my own sketches titled "Dear Diary" or eventually, "Erica," I didn't realize he was setting me up to write personal stuff, and finding the funny in that. All of it eventually led me to this!
-
DIARY
Since you have been working the circuit for over 8 years honing your craft, writing and performing, what advice would you offer to anyone that wanted to pursue a career in stand up? I bet it's a challenging world, and even more so for a woman . . .
-
Well, I think it's challenging for everyone, men too. In some ways, women at least stand out more than men, since there are fewer of us!
I would say get out on the road and see if you can stand it! That's really where the work is and the learning is. It's not for everyone and it's not the easiest life.
But it's where you grow and get better! I think people see people doing it and think it's much easier than it is. It takes years and years of very tough work. So if you're not into that, maybe get a writing job instead! Stand-up is for slightly insane people.
-
How can fans find out what you are up to? Latest appearances, interviews or news? Do you have a website or favorite method to communicate with fans?
-
Twitter or Instagram works. Or my website usually has my tour schedule: ericarhodescomedy.com
Thanks Erica for taking the time to catch PHC fans up to date on your activities! Her special 'La Vie en Rhodes' is available on all platforms for viewing or listening. . . here are 2 easy links though:

In the world of cryptocurrency, where the lines between opportunity and risk are often blurred, I learned a harsh lesson that cost me more than just money—it cost me trust. My story begins with a simple message on Instagram from someone I thought I could trust. A new friend, who seemed knowledgeable about crypto investments, introduced me to an enticing opportunity. The program they shared promised high returns and assured me it was safe, with various glowing testimonials to back up their claims.
Eager to invest, I followed their advice and put in a significant amount of money—over $89,000. At first, everything seemed fine. I received regular updates, and my account appeared to grow. However, as time went on, the communication from my “friend” started to dwindle, and the platform I was using showed signs of being unreliable. There were delays in withdrawals, customer support became unresponsive, and I began to feel something was wrong. Eventually, the account I had invested in was frozen, and all attempts to reach the company or my so-called friend went unanswered.
The reality hit me like a ton of bricks—I had been scammed. The Instagram profile I had trusted was fake, and the investment company was nothing more than a fraudulent scheme designed to deceive people like me. In that moment, I felt hopeless. I had lost everything, and I couldn’t help but blame myself for not being more cautious. What was worse was the shame I felt for letting myself fall into such a trap.
In my search for answers and a way to recover my funds, I stumbled upon NightcrawlWebTeam. Their website was filled with stories of people who had fallen victim to similar scams but had successfully recovered their losses with the team’s help. I decided to reach out and share my tragic story, not expecting much but hoping for a solution.
To my relief, NightcrawlWebTeam was incredibly professional and understanding. They immediately assured me that I wasn’t the first person to go through something like this and that they had the tools and expertise to help recover my lost funds. They walked me through the process, providing clear instructions and keeping me updated every step of the way. Their dedication and transparency made me feel like I wasn’t alone anymore.
After weeks of investigation and hard work, I received the news I had been hoping for: my funds had been successfully recovered. The NightcrawlWebTeam had traced the fraudulent transactions, worked with authorities, and used their resources to secure my lost investment. The feeling of relief was overwhelming—what I thought was gone forever had been returned to me.

This entire experience has been nothing short of overwhelming and deeply frustrating for me. A little over a month ago, I made a substantial investment exceeding $172,000,00 USD through an online brokerage that was recommended to me by a family friend. Initially, the situation appeared to be encouraging, with my investments showing promising growth and progress. However, everything took a dramatic and distressing turn when I attempted to withdraw my funds.
Suddenly, and without any warning, the broker began to withhold my earnings. To my shock, they insisted that I pay a hefty “membership fee” of $20,000 in order to have my account unfrozen, despite the fact that I had already fulfilled all of their stated requirements. When I sought clarification and questioned their sudden demand, they responded by insisting on additional payments, without providing any clear explanation or justification for their actions.
The situation escalated further when they began pressuring me to disclose the source of the funds I had invested. This demand made no sense to me; it had no relevance to my account or the transactions I had made. When I refused to comply with their intrusive request, they resorted to threats, warning me that they would blacklist me, citing that I allegedly still owed them money—despite my having paid every fee they had required.
I felt utterly trapped and overwhelmed by this entire ordeal. It was during this tumultuous time that a student of mine from Arizona, who had encountered a similar predicament, suggested that I reach out to a company called BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY. She shared her own positive experience with them, explaining how they had successfully assisted her in recovering her lost funds. Encouraged by her story, I decided to take the plunge and contact BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY, holding out hope for a resolution.
I am genuinely grateful that I made that decision. The team at BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY was incredibly professional, dedicated, and persistent throughout the entire recovery process. They provided me with guidance every step of the way, and thanks to their expertise and support, I was able to reclaim my full refund. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone who finds themselves in a similar unfortunate situation to consider reaching out to BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY (botnetcryptorecovery . com). They truly came to my rescue and saved me from what could have been a devastating financial loss. Email them on: ( botnetcryptorecovery @ groupmail . com )
