Comedian Bobby Collins has the ability to truthfully translate the human condition. Audiences across the country relate to his comedic characterizations as he exposes the humor of day-to-day situations and serves up resplendent rants on world events. He has honed his talents through precise physical timing and impeccable audience insight 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 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 in order to pursue a dream. He’s flipped his share of burgers, as well as signing 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 1980s, 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.
It was a decision he’s never regretted.
