Back of the Bus Funny

Keith Robinson works a room like he is picking a fight he knows he will win. A staple of the New York scene known for his confrontational approach, Robinson brings that exact club energy to his first hour. He is actively unsentimental, detailing the tactical differences in how men and women cheat, explaining the real reason Barack Obama was elected, and pinpointing the exact day he realized he no longer liked his own son. The delivery is loud and entirely unsympathetic to anyone looking for a softer touch.

Filmed at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City in 2015, the hour was produced and presented by Kevin Hart. At the time, Hart was an arena act, but he used this release to highlight the man who mentored him back in the Philadelphia clubs. After decades of being a working peer, writing for television, and holding court at the Comedy Cellar, Robinson uses the platform to air his grievances about aging and modern politics with his signature friction.
