A native of Newark, N.J., Retta graduated from Duke University and tried her hand at pharmaceutical research before moving to Los Angeles to become a comedienne. Over the past five years she has performed in all 50 states entertaining audiences with her stories about family, friends and those not-so-happy people working at popular fast-food chains.
Retta’s comedic stylings have also been displayed on her TV special "Comedy Central Presents: Retta" and "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." She has also appeared in the movies "Slackers" and "Dickie Roberts – Former Child Star."
