Overview

I am a stand-up comedian, host/emcee that can delight audiences with contemporary jokes, facts, and all fun-stuff...basically, I edu-tain. I've worked within the entertainment industry for over 20 years, and have performed all over NYC Comedy Clubs, have been heard on the Howard Stern Show, hosted corporate events, can briefly be seen on beginning show credits of NBC's popular "Law and Order, SVU" beginning segment, and even use my own scented candles (Celebriscents) that I raffle for FREE to make your event more interesting. I was also honored to be 1st comedian to open the legendary Copacabana in NYC, after 40 years of comedy. I'm a fun Latina (Bi-lingual) that can turn your party up!

Intelligent, witty and FUNNY!

Ruthy Ferrera is one of the funniest and most talented comedians I have seen in a long time. She is also VERSATILE! I have seen her a number of times and she can be super clean (ready for primetime!) and she can be dirty. Either way, she is super funny and very professional. Hire her! You'll thank me later!

Fantastic Hilarious Comedienne

Had a mixed crowd for about (100) Ruthy Ferrera delighted the crowd with her hilarious comedy. Some guests thought she was “hysterical.” Ruthy was prompt and reliable, and gave us what we requested. Ruthy can be seen at the NYC top clubs: Gotham, The Stand, Comic Strip LIVE, etc. Would recommend.

What to expect

I am a warm performer that brings joy to many occasions. I am a clean comic that can range from squeaky clean to filthy dirty. I am promising and if told to do clean jokes, CLEAN jokes IT IS! I am a physical comedienne who talks about pop culture, race, relationships, politics, and basically all the crazy subjects the audience wants to hear. A delightful comic that won't disappoint, and has an upbeat attitude for emcee and hosting duties. In comedy show line-ups, I'm usually the first one to turn the party up, or in middle to continue the FUN festivities.

About

Ruthy was born in her mother's friend's living room, giving her automatic bragging rights to tell people she was born to entertain. Ruthy is of Dominican descent, born and bred in The Bronx, NYC, same birthplace as entertainer, Jennifer Lopez (JLo) actress, Kerry Washington, Supreme Court Justice, Sonia Sotomayor, actor, Chazz Palminteri, Hip-Hop artists KRS-One, Fat Joe, Cardi B, actress Penny Marshall, legend TV/Film producer, Garry Marshall, and Stand Up legends Robert Klein and Carl Reiner. (Noticed the diverse talent The Bronx offers?)

Having indeed collaborated with many talents and news makers throughout her career, Ruthy also shared same film professor at (alma mater) Fordham University with two-time Academy Award winning actor, Denzel Washington. Ruthy also used to stuff Howard Stern's paychecks in envelopes when there was no such thing as direct deposit; during her employment at 92.3 K-ROCK Radio in early 90s. Also, while employed at Hachette Filipachi Media, (Magazine Publisher,) Ruthy used to work on insert production for their hi-profile magazines, including John F. Kennedy, Jr's GEORGE Magazine. Sadly, on Friday, July 16, 1999, Ruthy saw JFK, Jr. for the last time at the Paramount Building lobby after-work, before he flew a small chartered plane to Massachusetts.

Noticed the use of celebs? The love of glitz and glamour also inspired Ruthy to find and produce her own creative scented candle company, Celebriscents. Celebriscents celebrates People, Places and Lifestyles through aromatherapy.

For decades, Ruthy has always been involved in all aspects of the entertainment/media industry from radio, television, Cable TV, magazines, book/article publishing, public relations, etc. Ever since 1st grade, from interviewing and touching KISS then guitarist, Ace Frehley's guitar at a Bronx elementary school, to acting/narrating/producing plays, interviewing big names in Hollywood, modeling, writing/editing entertainment books and articles, event/show production to being featured in countless NYC film/TV productions like, HBO's "Sex and the City," FOX' "New York Undercover," Robert DeNiro Film, "Fifteen Minutes," Eminem music video, "I'm not Afraid," and more. Ruthy is currently active as a New York-based Stand up Comic and show producer. View Ruthy's gallery to see what we're talkin' bout.

Additional booking notes

I usually add a fun raffle to win exquisite prizes/souvenir-favor of event/occasion. (Free of Charge) Comes with the fun emcee/host duties and of course the stand up comedy performance I provide. My fun jokes are topical, entertains and does not offend.
