Longtime comedy and live performance agent Richard Super has been brought onboard Gersh in the Comedy Department, the agency announced on Tuesday.
Super will serve under department head and Senior Partner and Senior Vice President Rick Greenstein, and will be joined by his colleague Valentijn Sloot, who will also serve as an agent in the department.
Super is based in Los Angeles but will be spending time in New York to expand the Agency’s comedy presence on the East Coast.
Super comes to the agency from his own booking agency Super Artists, which he ran for sixteen years.
He will be bringing numerous clients with him to Gersh, including Theresa Caputo (TLC’s “Long Island Medium”), comics Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood (“Whose Line is it Anyway?”), Jessica Kirson and Kevin Pollak, among many others.
