Don Richardson

A regular at the World Famous Comedy Store, Don Richardson got into stand-up comedy as a cure for unemployment. Born in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, and raised in Eagan Minnesota, Don originally moved to Los Angeles to pursue a modeling career. After spending a season on Baywatch as a featured extra, where he suffered from sunburn and skin tight Speedos, Don realized there must be a better way to make a living. A finalist in the 2005 Greater Southwest Comedy Showcase, Don is a Featured Act touring nationally. His style of comedy is best summed up as "Bill Cosby with an attitude." He has shared the stage with the likes of Chris Rock, Carlos Mencia, and the legendary Andrew Dice Clay, just to name a few. Never one to shy away from the issues, Don is able to make a joke out of everything from race to relationships to religion. His favorite topic, of course, is himself. Don's television credits include Baywatch, The Huntress, The Practice as well as classic B-movies such as Violent by Nature and the Uninhibited. Just recently Don was named a 2011 LA Comedy Awards Director Nominee for the web comedy series Busted Reality.
