Bobby Collins

Saturday, March 25, 2023

Grammy-nominated comedian Bobby Collins can translate the human condition truthfully. Audiences across the country relate to his comedic characterizations as he exposes the humor of day-to-day situations as well as serves up resplendent rants on world events. Through precise physical timing and impeccable audience insight, he has honed his talents while performing from hole-in-the-wall clubs to sold-out theaters. Bobby Collins’ rise to top headlining, comedic master was inevitable. His true dedication to his craft is what keeps his vibrant shows consistently sold out.  A native New Yorker, Collins possesses a confidence and genuine everyman likeability that can only be earned. He knows what it’s like to work a day job, to pursue a dream. He’s flipped his share of burgers, as well as signed on as a substitute high school history teacher, to pay the bills – all the while performing in comedy clubs at night. After heeding a conversation with his father, with some trepidation, he ventured into sales. Settling into the high fashion industry. A detour that proved so successful, that in the 1980’s he had risen to Vice President at Calvin Klein. It was there that he found himself faced with a life-changing decision; remain here or chuck the security (and more than substantial steady income) for the uncertain challenge of heading out on the road – to pursue his dream of becoming a professional, full-time stand-up comedian.
