Robin Roberts combines original comedy songs that sound like pages from her diary, with hilarious stand-up material.  It's a peek inside her multi-layered, simultaneously fulfilled and unfulfilled life.  Whether it's working as a birthday clown, her latest one-night stand, why beauty's a pain in the ass, or the mystery of men's behavior, Robin's show is always fresh, funny, and true.  She tells jokes and stories about her life, and illustrates them with unexpected melodies and smart, edgy lyrics.

Robin was the opening act at the Ukiah County Fairgrounds for a rock n’ roll revival show starring Dusty Springfield and the Shirelles.  She opened for Glenn Yarbrough at Club Caprice in Redondo Beach, and appeared with Peggy Seeger (Pete Seeger’s sister) at the venerable Ash Grove on the Santa Monica Pier.  She performs regularly at The Coffee Gallery Backstage in Alta Dena, The Ice House, Flappers Comedy Club, the Warszawa Theatre in Santa Monica, Beyond Baroque, Storyphile, and countless coffee houses and nightclubs around southern California.  She toured the U.S. and Canada extensively, appearing at major comedy clubs.

Robin was privileged to be a member of the comedy rock n’ roll band The Housewives, founded by Hope Schwartz, daughter of Sherwood Schwartz (creator of The Brady Bunch and Gilligan’s Island) and her husband, internationally renowned former Wings guitarist Laurence Juber.  Completing the trio was actress Barbara Chase, daughter of Florence Henderson.  The group played prestigious venues around Los Angeles, singing songs about housework and domestic life, to much acclaim.

Robin hosted and wrote the theme song for the Canadian-American Women of Comedy Tour, which raised money for victims of domestic abuse.  She’s featured on the comedy CD’s “Stand Up Against Domestic Violence” Vols. I and II.  Happy to donate her humor to this worthy cause, still, Robin ponders, “If men would stop beating up women, maybe I could get some paid work!”

Robin’s self-produced stand-up show, Comedy Schmomedy, ran for over ten years in L.A.  It garnered four Comedy Picks of the Week from the L.A. Weekly, and two Best Bets from the L.A. Times.  Larry David, Jeff Altman, Nora Dunn, Andy Kindler and Maria Bamford are among the notables who performed.  Metro L.A. named it, “The classiest and most professional stand-up show in the Valley.”

She’s been featured on Dr. Demento, National Lampoon Radio, Relevant Music & Muse on L.A. Talk Radio, The David Feldman Comedy Show on KPFK, and numerous other comedy and music podcasts and radio shows.

Robin was a writer/voice performer on the Rick Dees Weekly Top 40, creating the internationally syndicated character, Patty the Depressed Clown.  She wrote comedy for the CBS Morning Circus radio comedy service, and for Premier Radio.  Robin is a graduate of the Warner Bros. Sitcom Writers Program, and worked as an audience warm-up for TV shows.

Her day job is working as a birthday clown.  She sings about it, tells jokes about it, and has compiled over a hundred true conversations with kids that she posts weekly on Facebook under the title:  “Another True Comedy Moment With Rockie The Clown,” which she intends to publish as a book.  They are a huge hit online!  Robin was the clown for the L.A. Dodgers for eight years, painted faces at Neverland Ranch until she was escorted out by security, and drives around the city every weekend entertaining kids from every ethnic and socio-economic group. After years spent working as a secretary to top agents and producers in Hollywood, this job is more rewarding and much funnier!  www.comedyschmomedy.com/rockie

Robin spent a month on the island of Malta, teaching stand-up comedy to the Maltese.  The result was the first stand-up show in Malta’s 5,000-year history, which she hosted.  She doesn’t want much, just a plaque on some ruins that says, “Robin Roberts -- She brought the Catskills to the Mediterranean.”

Robin’s quirky, eclectic life makes for delightful comedy and music.  Her rapport with the audience is magical, and she presents uniquely original stories, jokes, and songs.

The Pasadena Weekly says of Robin:  “Her timing’s dead-on, with an oddly endearing New York edge that sharpens her live act.”

“Robin is a funny, talented performer that deserves your attention.  She’s professional in every way a performer should be.  Robin has a certain quirky sort of humor that makes you want to reach out and hug her.  Her humor is clean and she’ll open your audience’s hearts like no one I’ve ever seen since!” -- Bonnie Barchichat, Senior Comedy Afternoons
