A lifelong fan of stand-up comedy who got hooked on live performance when her womb-mate first got on stage at 18, Rachel started working in the corporate world in project management, working and living in London, Munich, Melbourne and Singapore before going back to her first love: Comedy. That led to her settling in Los Angeles in 2018, before producing podcasts. The pandemic saw her start running the "Nowhere Comedy Club," the first virtual club to bring live stand-up to your living room. She also produced and co-hosted a virtual show that raised almost $100K for comedians that were out of work.

In 2020 she transitioned into talent management, now alongside Jessica and Tasha. Her primary focus are comedic actors, writers, and performers. Her clients are on Netflix, Comedy Central, Hulu, Adult Swim, Hartbeat, and can be heard on Sirius/XM.
On this episode of A Tight 45, Tabari talks with Rachel about the business side of comedy, detailing everything from the differences between agents and managers as well as all the various trends that should (and shouldn't) continue in 2024 and beyond ... And clowns. Yes ... Clowns.
