Shortly after her return from the Beauty Shop tour’s closing in 1991, Retha’s decided to pursue a career in stand up comedy.

In 2007, Retha placed 1st Runner Up in the Bay Area Black Comedy Competition.  She was also crowned Winner of the 2007 California's Funniest Female contest, and Winner of the 1st annual 2007 California Comedy Festival.
