About Wayne Rada

Wayne Rada has been working in the Comedy Business for 15 years. At the age of nineteen, Wayne produced one of Chicago's number 1 rated, comedy/talk radio shows. From there, Wayne moved to Second City, producing sketch comedy for the stage. He has spent his last several years working alongside legendary Manager/Executive Producer Barry Katz (NBC's Last Comic Standing), learning the finer points of Stand-up and the Comedy Industry.

When Barry needed someone to manage his Comedy Club in New York City, it was Wayne who he turned to. While booking, Wayne quickly formed relationships with many of NYC's finest comics. Offering them honest insights, helpful tips, and general guidance, he quickly earned both their respect and their trust. Such comics as Todd Lynn, Dan Naturman, DC Benny, Keith Robinson, Gary Gullman and Patrice Oneal all value Wayne as an advisor and a confidant.

It is this knowledge and guidance that he will bring to you...
