Caroline Rhea Biography
In 1989, this Montreal native ventured to New York to study the fine art of stand-up comedy. She participated in the stand-up program at the New School of Social Research, but her ultimate training would come at the comedy club Catch a Rising Star.
With nightly gigs at New Yorks venerable clubs, her status quickly grew and she became an integral part of the citys competitive comedy scene. After her stint at Catch a Rising Star, she was highly sought after by college campuses. Her career was further boosted by numerous appearances on "MTVs Half-Hour Comedy Hour," "Comic Strip Live" and "Carolines Comedy Hour." With Hollywood knocking on her door, she bade farewell to Manhattan and headed for Los Angeles, where she starred with Jeremy Piven in the television series "Pride & Joy."
Her feature credits include working with Jim Carrey in a supporting role in "Man on the Moon," the story of the late comedian Andy Kaufman, and the wrestling film "Ready to Rumble" opposite Oliver Platt, David Arquette and Scott Caan.
On the small screen, she guest-starred as Drews girlfriend on "The Drew Carey Show" and starred in the television movie "Moms Got a Date with a Vampire." She is a regular guest on "Late Night with Conan OBrien" and has also made appearances on Comedy Centrals "Pulp Comics," HBOs "Curb Your Enthusiasm" written by Larry David, the Ms. Foundations "Women of Comedy from Carolines," and "Comic Relief 8." She has hosted her own VH-1 series, "Fool for Love," and Lifetimes "The Great Lifetime Makeover," executive produced by Geena Davis.
In her spare time, Rhea can be found practicing "spiritual twister" (yoga) and out on the greens hoping to score a hole-in-one. The working title of her autobiography, which she hopes someday to write, is I Ate All My Prop Food
