The Bonkerz Seal of Approval
Google defines Seal of Approval as a status or a recognition given to a product, service, or concept that meets certain criteria created by an organization or person.
The Bonkerz Seal of Approval is required before any comic can work for Bonkerz. These requirements include a commitment to professionalism, as well as providing a great experience for the audience. Bonkerz’ comics are given an itinerary for each venue that outlines show times, content requirements, contact information, lodging details and even a minimum time frame they must appear at the venue before the show.
Bonkerz’ comics typically work multiple Bonkerz venues every year. Some of our headlining comedians work as much as half of their calendar year just working for us. Their actions at each of our venues relates to their employment at all of our venues. Doing a good job in one location is how they earn the opportunity to work all of our locations. The converse is also true, so you can rest assured that the Bonkerz Seal of Approval is not easily earned and something that comics must maintain in order to perform at any and all Bonkerz locations.

Mindy Rickles
Mindy Rickles, stand up comedian/actress, was recently featured in Jeff Garlin’s theatrical release, “Dealin’ With Idiots”. Signifiacntly, she made her comedic debut on “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson”.

She recently spent the weekend opening for Garlin in La Jolla. Not to mention, she was featured on episodes of “In the Heat of the Night” with Carroll O’Conner.
Unique and Unusual
Secondly, Mindy grew up as the daughter of one of the all-time greats of comedy, Don Rickles. Her act is certainly unique and unusual. It reflects her life growing up, her husband and family which includes two boys, and her own particular obsessions. In addition, she’s especially adept at working the room and applying her improvisational experience into her comedy.
Beverly Hills
Mindy grew up in virtual squalor in Beverly Hills where she survived her upbringing from Barbara and Don Rickles. They spent nearly every Christmas and Hannukah in Las Vegas on the lawn of the Sahara Hotel, where Mindy was entertained by the cooks and maids. Little Gloria, Happy at Last!
Busy
She married after attending USC, where her father claims she majored in tennis. Above all, she still is married, and stays busy with her comedy career while raising two boys in between bubble baths and naps.
