About this Event
"The Fabulous Kenny Robinson" is a living legend on the Canadian Comedy scene.
Often referred to as the "Godfather of Canadian Comedy", his irreverent, socially conscience, intelligent, opinionated and profane style of comedy has made him a fixture and favourite with comedy clubs, festivals, swingers conventions, radio, and television audiences for 3 decades.He is the founder of The Nubian Disciples Comedy Revue, a groundbreaking monthly showcase for Black and racialized comedians that has run at Yuk Yuk's in Toronto since 1995.
Raunchy, energetic, sharp witted, and sharp dressed; Kenny Robinson is a one of a kind act. Not for the weak of heart or narrow minded. Kenny assaults your sensibilities and funny bone with unspoken truths.
Many of the country's brightest young comics have claimed "The Fab" as a mentor and influence.
The Winnipeg born, Chicago bred Robinson has hosted The Gemini Awards and was twice nominated for his writing and performance in his ground breaking one hour special "Thick and Thin" on the CBC.
Kenny has earned accolades as the creator, writer, producer and host of the edgy late night series"After Hours with Kenny Robinson" on The Comedy Network.
