 /event/detail/441182269/Bobby_Collins\nEvent Date Begin: 2011-05-07\nEvent
  Date End: 2011-05-07\n\nAs one of today's leading and most sought-after c
 omedic talents\, BOBBY COLLINS' heartfelt and witty humor engages audience
 s with a clever blend of characterizations and hilarious observations\, to
  which everyone can relate. Joined by special guest\, Nick Albanese.\n\nBo
 bby Collins shows people themselves. While half the audience is nodding in
  knowing approval from hearing him tell some of their favorite stories\, a
 nd from seeing him on TV\, many of the &ldquo\;newbies&rdquo\; are there b
 ecause they've recently heard him on satellite radio. And it's that enthus
 iastic fan base and the tremendous word of mouth buzz that sells out Bobby
  Collins' shows.\n\nBobby lives to make people laugh. From the moment he h
 its the stage\, he connects with the crowd\, gets into their mind and draw
 s them inside his world. They willingly surrender to his energy and visual
  antics targeted directly at tickling their funny bones. And tickle them\,
  he does. He holds up a mirror to each of us and helps us not to take ours
 elves so seriously.\n\nFrom starring in his own Showtime specials and bein
 g Rosie O'Donnell's predecessor to host VH1's Stand-Up Spotlight\, to open
 ing for such names as Cher\, Dolly Parton\, Julio Iglesias and Tony Bennet
 t\, Bobby Collins delivers. He was nominated for a CableACE Award as well 
 as for the American Comedy Awards &ldquo\;Stand-up Comic of the Year.&rdqu
 o\; Collins' first CD\, &ldquo\;On The Inside\,&rdquo\; showcased his wide
 -ranging observational material and his second CD\, &ldquo\;Out of Bounds\
 ,&rdquo\; earned him a Grammy nomination. His new DVD\, &ldquo\;Bobby Coll
 ins: Live From New York City\,&rdquo\; is being released in April 2007. Wh
 ile live stage performances in New York\, Las Vegas and Atlantic City are 
 forever expanding his list of faithful followers\, he has also appeared in
  five feature films and numerous television shows.\n\nComedy was Collins' 
 destiny. He was named after his father's favorite comedian\, Bob Hope. 'I'
 ve never seen Bob Hope perform but when I was appearing in Philadelphia fo
 r the first time\, a newspaper reporter from New York City caught my act a
 nd liked it so much he put me on the entire cover of the paper's weekend s
 ection. Lost in the cover's corner was a tiny picture of Bob Hope. While I
  was visiting with friends at the club\, a black limousine pulled up and t
 he driver handed me a manila envelope. There was a signed photo of Bob Hop
 e inside along with a handwritten note\n\nsaying 'How dare you get top bil
 ling on a weekend' with a happy face drawn at the bottom.&rdquo\;\n\nChari
 sma\, style and flair -- Bobby has it all. He's a mesmerizing entertainer 
 who's larger than life and you won't be able to take your eyes off him. It
  also doesn't hurt that Bobby is more eye candy than Quasimodo.\n\nEven wi
 th live stage performances\, talk show appearances and a TV special in the
  works\, Bobby is a dedicated family man with a heart of gold.
