Randy Rainbow

National Freakin' Treasure Randy Rainbow is a four-time Emmy- and Grammy-nominated American comedian, producer, actor, singer, writer, satirist, host, and New York Times bestselling author known for his popular web series, The Randy Rainbow Show. His debut memoir, Playing with Myself received rave reviews and “vividly recollects the alienation so many LGBTQ+ youth experience,” according to the LA Times. Musical theatre started out as an escape for Rainbow, an escape that ultimately helped catapult his career. His musical parodies and political spoofs have garnered him worldwide acclaim and four consecutive Emmy nominations for Outstanding Short-Form Variety Series. Rainbow has gained a loyal fan base, including notable names like Ryan Reynolds, Carol Burnett, John Legend, Mark Hamill, Hillary Clinton, Stephen Sondheim, Jane Lynch, Ana Navarro, Barry Manilow, Ben Stiller, Sarah Silverman, Rosie O’Donnell, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Steve Martin, and Martin Short. As an actor, Rainbow has appeared onscreen as a featured guest star in the FX comedy/drama series Better Things, and on stage as a lead in the Encores! series revival of Call Me Madam at New York City Center. In 2019, Rainbow collaborated with award-winning composer and lyricist Marc Shaiman on his holiday EP, Hey Gurl, It’s Christmas! The EP debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Comedy chart and #1 on the iTunes Holiday chart. Rainbow’s first full-length studio album, A Little Brains, A Little Talent, also debuted at #1 and earned Rainbow his first Grammy nomination for Best Comedy Album in 2023. The album features duets with Pad LuPone, Tituss Burgess, Bernadette Peters, Josh Gad, and his first writing collaboration with EGOT recipient Alan Menken. Touring the U. S. with his sold-out solo musical comedy concerts, the influencer and internet sensation’s viral comedy videos have received hundreds of millions of views across social media and digital platforms. His fresh take on politics and current events has led to interviews and profiles by The Washington Post, CBS Sunday Morning, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Hollywood Reporter, CNN, NPR, ABC News, OUT, People, and Entertainment Weekly. As the Washington Post noted, Rainbow has found his spotlight through the internet, emerging as a viral sensation who dispenses musical comedy salve for a divided nation.
