(In the Studio Theatre)
Friday, November 9, 7:30pm
Tickets on Sale Friday, Sept 21st at Noon
Tickets starting at $44.75 (inclusive of ticketing fees)

Collins’ heartfelt and witty humor engages audiences with a clever blend of characterizations and hilarious observations that everyone can relate to. He holds up a mirror to each of us and helps us to not take ourselves so seriously. It’s no wonder the NY Times calls Collins, “The Most Natural Comedian Working Today.” The Grammy-nominated comedian has starred in his own Showtime specials, hosted VH1’s Stand-Up Spotlight, appeared on The Tonight Show and the Late Show with David Letterman and has opened for such show business greats as Cher, Julio Iglesias and Tony Bennett. Collins has three DVDs and six CDs, the latest of which, I’m on the Boat: Woman and Children First, is on its way to becoming a number one bestseller. www.bobbycollins.com
