Where better to develop an act built around movie scene's then Hollywood?
Originally from Chicago Rusty moved to Los Angeles in 1999. He showcased at all the local clubs and became a fixture at The Laugh Factory, Dublin's and of course The Comedy Store. The bar was set pretty high for him as he was forced to follow some of the biggest names in the business on stage every night. Even though he was the new comer it did not take long for the veterans to see the way he can get a crowd pumped up with his animated style and whirl wind blend of props and costumes. No body wanted any part of following him - Nobody. Rusty was recently voted the funniest comic by 944 Magazine. He currently has a deal with Miramax to produce a one hour comedy DVD. His show features comedic scenes from classic films such as Top Gun, Raiders of the Lost Arc, The Terminator, Jurassic Park, Alien, Batman, Braveheart and many more. His act stands out from that of a traditional comedian. Rusty takes his audiences on an adventure not soon forgotten. Catch him when you can.

"My favorite of his picks is the supremely original Rusty Dooley. He defines the meaning of side-splittingly funny. His act is a must-see, especially if you're a movie buff. Just try to picture Michael Meyers from the cult-classic Halloween hopped-up on ecstasy. Why, you ask? Because it's freakin' hilarious to watch Rusty act it out in full costume — with soundtrack. Now that's what I call committing to your character! It makes me laugh just thinking about it. "

"Enter Rusty Dooley the Movie Maniac. His innovative movie imitations with musical interludes and puppets were a crowd stealer. His Mike Myers, Al Pacino, and Tom Cruise impersonations were what won him maximum applause. His set included action movie spoofs and parodies of films like Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Dracula, Terminator, Scarface, and Top Gun. The build up a fine temp and energy for the evening had prolonged audience applause..."
