A note from Hope: No, it's not a cardboard cutout...it's really me! Okay, yes, it's me, but it's also REALLY Rita Rudner - at Grand Casino Mille Lacs after her show at the VIP Meet & Greet, July 2007.

Also - Welcome to the new HopeRiska.com funny pages! Have you seen one of my shows? Let me know! I have added a special Photo Gallery from past shows and appearances, a guestbook page for your comments - I love feedback - as well as a few links to other sites, and a clip from a performance. I really enjoy making people laugh and have fun! As Dolly Parton said in 'The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas', "If you see someone without a smile, give 'em yours!" You gotta enjoy life and laugh, or as Comedienne Rox Tarrant says, "Don't hold it in, or, by God, you'll fart!"

God Bless You!

As most of you know, I am a sucker for Peanut Butter M&M's - so, I thought I would have some fun and make myself into an M&M...What do you think? Looks like a nice New York City evening, doesn't it? You can build your own, too at www.m-ms.com - you can even create your own screensavers, wallpaper...try it! Have fun!
