Episode 88 Kenny Robinson

Kenny Robinson is one of the hardest working comedians in Canada & has been making his living as a comic/actor since 1984. Along the way, he has helped to launch careers for many upcoming comedians & has done so selflessly. I first took notice of Kenny when he hosted his TV show, "After Hours" in the early 2000s & his train has kept rolling on through the years. I met Kenny while I was performing with my band at a bar in London, Ontario circa 2008. He was working his show at the local Yuk Yuks & found his way to my show as he was looking to blow off some steam & relax after his set. He is one of the warmest & kind celebrities I've met to date. Known for his raunchy or "blue" comedy, Kenny has also done a lot of mainstream work in both comedy & acting, including regular appearances on the TV series "Doc" featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, movie roles alongside Chris Rock (2001 "Down to Earth") Jude Law & Forest Whitaker (2010 Repo Men). Most recently, he's appeared as "Reggie" on the Tv series "Coroner" & as "Earl" on "The Umbrella Academy" . Meanwhile, he is on tour creating laughs all over Canada. His "Nubian Comedy Revue" has been very well received as he continues to give younger artists a leg up. In this episode, we discussed his beginnings in show business & his successes along the way to the present.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tommy-solo-s-famous-friends--4318572/support.
