Karen Rontowski is one of the best comediennes with whom I've ever shared a stage and a shower. Karen has a mind like Gracie Allen and a body like Byron Allen (you can't have everything). Even if you can't spell Karen Rontowski, you'd better remember it, because she is GREAT!
-David Brenner
She wins the audience and has them in the palm of her hand from the first joke. This is the kin of off-the-walll yet endearing comedy that other comics can only dream of achieving

A Star is Discovered by the Escondido Humane Society
Commentary by lyle e davis
We jump-started Valentine's Day last Saturday night by taking in a "Laugh for Lives" event at Harrah's Rincon Resort and Casino in Valley Center (near Escondido, California). It was a fund-raiser for the Escondido Humane Society and was billed as an evening of standup comedy. A comedian named Karen Rontowski came on stage and saved the evening. Rontowski stole the show and had the audience in the palm of her hand as she comfortably paced the stage and offered her observational comedy.
It was a particular delight to the audience as the preceding acts were woefully lacking in both talent and laughs. But Karen, ah, Karen! What a breath of fresh air she was. She’ll be appearing again in Escondido come April, and we’ll be seeing her show again.

Bio
David Brenner says, “Even if you can't spell Karen Rontowski, you'd better remember it, because she is GREAT!”
Karen Rontowski is a New Age Hippie who believes there is no time like the present to be living in the past. Her upbeat and optimistic clean sense of humor has earned her spots opening for such show biz legends as Bob Hope, Ray Charles and the Monkees.
Karen describes herself as having an optimistic outlook (even though her therapist describes her as being in complete denial). Either way everything is coming up roses when you talk to Karen!
Karen’s real touring trips (not the ones in her head) include 45 of the 50 states, Canada, Japan, Greenland and all over Europe where she entertained the troops with tales of her Polish father who once put a drawbridge on their house by mistakenly installing the garage door upside down.
Karen’s TV appearances include Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham and Comics Unleashed. She is a regular on the Bob and Tom Radio Show where she often is asked about her second career as a paranormal investigator. “I am not afraid of ghosts, they’re just people who don’t know their dead yet. Like Michael Jackson.”
After performing in the encore production of David Brenner’s “What’s so funny?” and the TBS Comedy Festival, Karen filmed her own pilot called, Karen’s Supernatural Junkyard, a hilarious adventure in supernatural investigations. Just ask her about her ghost orbs!
She can also be seen in the movie shorts Return to Sender and Some Kind of Joke.
Supernatural Junkyard podcast…stay tuned.
