Comedian Bobby Collins has a remarkable ability to truthfully translate the human condition, earning him a special place in the hearts of audiences nationwide. His comedic characterizations expose the humor in everyday situations while serving up resplendent rants on world events. Through precise physical timing and impeccable audience insight, Bobby has polished his talents over the years, performing everywhere from hole-in-the-wall clubs to sold-out theaters. A native New Yorker, Collins possesses a confident and genuinely likable everyman persona, shaped by his life's journey. Like many pursuing their passions, Bobby's path to comedic prominence was not straightforward. He held various day jobs to support his dream, including flipping burgers and working as a substitute high school history teacher, all while honing his comedic craft in clubs at night. A conversation with his father led him to a successful stint in sales, eventually rising to Vice President at Calvin Klein in the high fashion industry during the 1980s. However, Bobby faced a life-altering decision: to stay in the security and success of his corporate role or to embrace the uncertainty of a full-time stand-up comedy career. Choosing the latter, he stepped onto a path he's never regretted. Realizing this dream allowed Bobby to tour with entertainment legends like Frank Sinatra, Cher, Julio Iglesias, and Dolly Parton, and to work alongside comedy greats such as Chris Rock, Ray Romano, and Drew Carey. Rosie O'Donnell even requested Bobby to take over as host for "Stand-Up Spotlight," further solidifying his reputation as a "comic's comic." Bobby Collins has made personal appearances at comedy clubs, theaters, and corporate and charity events, in addition to his numerous television appearances on legendary shows like "Letterman" and "The Tonight Show" with both Jimmy Fallon and Jay Leno. His strong relationship with his audience keeps his shows consistently sold out, connecting with fans new and old. His comedy is marked by a skillful dissection of everyday life, effortlessly bridging socioeconomic, racial, and age divides. Whether performing at Chelsea Clinton's White House birthday or at US embassies and USO shows abroad, Bobby reflects the hilarious truth that "we're all in this together." With five CDs, three DVDs, and a special slated for early 2015, Bobby continues to reach and entertain audiences. His critically acclaimed book, "On The Inside – Witisms and Wisdomisms by Comedian Bobby Collins," shares his journey through personal and professional tragedies and triumphs, offering a glimpse into the beliefs that drive his comedy. Bobby Collins masterfully weaves his uproarious storytelling with flair and charisma, making him a beloved figure both on and off the stage.
