Since 1983, he's been performing at YukYuks as well as at Just For Laughs and other Canadian comedy venues. Close to 30 years ago, he launched The Nubian Comedy Revue, a showcase for BIPOC entertainers which is performed on the last Sunday of every month at YukYuks in Toronto.The documentary features several performers who see The Nubian Show as the Def Jam of Canadian comedy. Among them are Russell Peters (the "Brown Sinatra," as Robinson calls him), Hassan Phills, Crystal Ferrier, Marito Lopez and Zambrina Douglas. Listen as Robinson, who is also the president of the Canadian Comedy Hall of Fame, reminisces about some of his comedy heroes and others he met along the way.
