Rich Greenfield

Rich Greenfield is a Polish-born stand-up comedian recognized for his "One-man" comedy routines, which feature completely invented dialogue derived from total obscurity, and on occasion audience suggestion.

Early years

At age 17 his brother had seen an ad requesting "Stand-Up Comedians Wanted," and gave it to Greenfield. Immediately Rich contacted the originator of the ad and requested information about the performance. A week later he was saying his first improvised lines in front of half a dozen bar patrons at Mc Cormicks Place in Grafton, WI.

Performances

Greenfield has appeared in numerous Milwaukee theatre productions including Song at The Scaffold (1996), and The Foreignor (1999).
