Robin's stand-up comedy act reflects her life of raising teenagers while coming to terms with being middle aged. In her keynote speech, Robin discusses her diagnosis of Essential Tremor and shares why she chose a career of speaking into a mic with shaky hands. Robin is also a published author. Her book is entitled Stand Up and be a Lady, is available on Amazon.
I think she does a great job as a comedian. Her work is fresh and off the charts.
If you are looking for someone who can keep you in stitches without punctuating their act with profanity, Robin is an excellent example! She is really funny, a pleasure to work with and an excellent emcee. She emceed my charity showcase in January 2015 and I would love to have her back!
Robin is very very smart. Therefore her humor is smart and funny. She is able to imbue even her most exaggerated characters with truth and humanity. As with any good storyteller Robin puts a grain of truth in every humorous tale. She sees the humor in the mundane and the funny side of life's little ups and down.
Robin's forte is being able to reduce complicated subjects down to their funny essence- With a twist.

I am a clean, stand-up comedian. My set is smart and well thought out. I have material on family, kids, marriage and the challenges of a post-covid world. I often have people after a show tell me "It is so nice to hear a grown-up comedian." "I could take my mother to your show without getting embarrassed, thank you." I firmly believe in being funny without being vulgar. I can perform for all ages.
From an early age, Robin always knew she wanted to be a public spectacle. In high school she joined the Forensic and Debate Society, winning the coveted "I tried" award five years in a row. While in college, Robin made friends with a bunch of misfits, ruffians and hooligans whose antics eventually got them kicked out of their fraternity…no, wait, that was the movie Animal House.
Robin took several years off to pursue her love of gluttony and sloth before finding work as a corporate trainer. Eventually she found her way to the comedy stage where her irreverent stand-up routine had audiences talking.
“Huh?”
“I don’t get it.”
“Is this supposed to be funny?”
Feeling like she had a story to tell the world, Robin took up motivational speaking. She shares her humble beginnings as a middle class, white girl living in Missouri who eventually became a middle class, white woman living in Florida. She hopes her story can help others.
She produced a Segment “Lunch Laughs” and regularly co-hosted on “Today with Rochelle” on WTMY 1280 AM. She recently became the face of Ms. Genuity. The first crowd-funding site that focuses on projects for Moms and the Mom Community.
Robin has performed in the following comedy clubs: Tampa Improv, McCurdy’s Comedy Theatre, Stanford and Sons, Side Splitters, Comedy Zone, Snappers Comedy Club, Laffs Comedy Cafe, Bonkerz Comedy Clubs, Jackie Knight’s Comedy Club, Gregory’s on the Beach Comedy Club, Groucho’s Comedy Clubs, Coconuts Comedy Clubs, Old Naples Comedy Club and Giggles Comedy Clubs.
Her theatre appearances include, The Straz Performing Arts Center, The Norris Center, The Galaxy Theatre, The Gorilla Theatre, The Masque Theatre, Smith Black Box Theatre, Sleuth’s Mystery Theatre and The Venue Theatre.
She has worked with the following charities: International Essential Tremor Foundation, The American Cancer Society, Tampa Bay Crisis Center, The Jules Burt Foundation, Generation Rescue, American Diabetes Society and Team Fox for Parkinson’s Research.
I just need a mic and a stool!

As a comedian, the only set list I have is my list of jokes. :-)
My favorite of all-time comedy influence is Carol Burnett. I also love that stand-up of Chris Rock, Maria Bamford, Sarah Silverman, Jim Gaffigan and John Mulaney. I like comedians who have smart subject matter. My literary influences are David Sedaris, Dave Barry and Chelsea Handler.
