Singer, actress, dancer, comedienne: these are just some of the words the popular American comic can spell. Rita Rudner's first British series features stand-up comedy, sketches and songs.

After inheriting a large country estate from his late father, Peter invites his friends from college: married couple Roger and Mary, the lonely Maggie, fashionable Sarah, and writer Andrew, who brings his American TV star wife, Carol. Sarah's new boyfriend, Brian, also attends. It has been 10 years since college, and they find their lives are very different.

Three family Thanksgiving gatherings at a California beach house are fraught with tension due to the father's recent remarriage to a younger woman and a national financial crisis.

Six people. One weekend. The possibilities are endless when city meets country in this roundelay of old flames, new flings, and last chances.

Rita Rudner brings her standup to the Ohio Theatre in this special.
