At the age of ten, Erica Rhodes started her entertainment career by voicing the conscience of legendary humorist and writer, Garrison Keillor on NPR's A Prairie Home Companion, and has worked on that show ever since. She has performed on stage with Meryl Streep for PBS' A Prairie Home Companion Celebrates the 4th of July special and co-starred with Martin Sheen when the famous radio show played L.A.'s Greek Theatre and Hollywood Bowl shows. Her work can also be heard on the Grammy-nominated album, Garrison Keillor's Comedy Theatre. In 2012, she also became a writer for the show when it toured Houston, NYC and San Francisco.

Erica co-created and starred in the award-winning web series Apt. 45, but is probably best known for the character of Sandy in Iron Sink Media's web series Upstairs Girls and her own hit spin-off Sandy's Channel. Collectively, those two web series have had an astonishing quarter billion hits. In 2011, Erica was nominated for an LA Comedy Award for "Most Hilarious Leading Actress in a Web Series." She produced and starred (with Ray Wise and Oscar nominee Sally Kirkland) in the short film Posey which premiered at the 2013 Idyllwild Cinema Fest. The film went on to make the festival rounds, garnering many awards.

Erica co-hosts Bil Dwyer's Stardumb!, a game and talk show comedy hybrid that has been featured twice at San Francisco Sketchfest, and stars major guest comedy players like Zach Galifianakis, Simon Helberg, Oscar Nunez, Adam Scott, Mike White, and Maria Bamford. Erica is also a fast-rising standup comic, and has guested on popular podcasts like Doug Loves Movies, The JV Club, The Mental Illness Happy Hour and The Self Help Comedy Hour.
