Erica Rhodes

Comedian Erica Rhodes grew up in Newton, Massachusetts, a city known for producing comics such as Louis C.K., Jonathan Katz and B.J. Novak. She had originally planned to become an actress but, because of her "funny unique voice," she gravitated to comedy instead. She's had some success, too, and has performed at the Just for Laughs Festival, San Francisco Sketchfest, the Moontower Comedy Festival, the Blue Whale Comedy Festival, the Boston Comedy Festival and RIOT L.A. Fest. She headlines Hilarities at 7 tonight and Sunday night and opens for Tom Papa tomorrow, Friday and Saturday. Check the website for ticket prices. (Niesel)
