Rich Natole was born in the
Bronx, New York to first
generation Italian- Americans
who moved to Redwood City, CA
when
he
was three years old. Rich's
early dreams were on the Little
League Field- winning the City
Championship as an all-star
Shortstop. After discovering an
amazing talent for mimicry, the
dream shifted to a life-long
passion for show biz. Classmates
at Sequoia High School soon
recognized the funny guy in
their midst and Rich Natole -
The Class Clown - was asked to
do everything from star in the
school shows to announce the
football games as Howard Cosell.
As a ticket taker at Circle Star
Theatre in San Carlos, CA, Rich
stood in the wings and learned
from the masters-Frank Sinatra,
Bill Cosby, Rich Little, Sammy
Davis Jr., and George Carlin.
Rich's dad, Joe would accompany
him at sixteen to his early
outings to the San Francisco
comedy clubs. His repertoire
increased to over 200 celebrity
speaking and singing impressions
and with a strong theater
background
from College, he set off to Los
Angeles. Rich Natole unpacked
and then packed up again to go
"On The Road". Rich played every
major comedy club in 42 states
within just a few years. He
opened for many musical acts
including The Four Tops, the
Temptations and Tom Jones. Rich
distinguished himself as a
favorite with local radio and
television shows for his quick
wit, variety of impressions and
professional attitude and
appearance. Over the years, Rich
Natole has appeared on virtually
every television comedy show.

When comedy clubs got
overwhelmingly "BLUE", Rich
found his clean act more in
demand for corporate audiences.
Rich Natole has built a quality
reputation doing corporate shows
for over 250 major corporate
clients, including Mobil Oil,
Unilever, Shell Oil, Coca Cola,
Johnson & Johnson and Colgate
Palmolive.
Rich
Natole has hosted everything
from game shows to major
corporate award shows. Rich has
also provided his talent to many
charity events for The American
Cancer Society and Muscular
Dystrophy.
Rich married his wife Sue in
1990. They moved to the
Corporate Convention Capital of
the world-Orlando, Florida in
1998. They are the proud parents
of two beautiful children,
Mickey Andrew and Mia Elizabeth.
Both provide Rich with a wealth
of material and a ton of laughs
every day.
