Retha Jones, a native of Los Angeles, tried her hand in modeling where she did a few runway fashion shows in Los Angeles. After her brief stroll down the “cat walks", Retha was cast in a 50 city tour with America's number one black stage play, Shelly Garrett's Beauty Shop.
Shortly after her return from the Beauty Shop tour’s closing in 1991, Retha’s decided to pursue a career in stand up comedy. She has since been literally tickling funny bones across America having made several television appearances on BET’s COMIC VIEW, Comedy Central’s PREMIUM BLEND, HBO’s DEF COMEDY JAM, and NBC's Last Comic Standing where she reached the semi finals.
Retha can also be seen in various film and television projects such as UPN's One on One, Lifetime's STRONG MEDICINE, and Breakaway Film's MY BIG PHAT HIP HOP FAMILY.
When in Los Angeles, Retha can be found at the World Famous COMEDY STORE where she has performed as a paid regular in all of the clubs spectacular rooms for over 10 years.
