About Jerry Robin
Jerry appeared in his first play at age 7 and has been addicted to the stage (or at least the spotlight) ever since. A bright child with severe Attention Deficit Disorder, he has been making people laugh at inappropriate times for over 40 years.
He began performing improvisational comedy in the 1980's in his home town of Chicago, where he appeared at the ImprovOlympic and studied with the late Del Close (the man who trained many of the stars of Saturday Night Live, from Bill Murray and John Belushi to Chris Farley and Tim Meadows).
Jerry moved from Chicago to Phoenix in 1991, and, in honor of the weather, took a break from performing for a while. In the early years of the 21st century, he performed with the Jester'Z improv comedy troupe in Scottsdale. He has been performing standup comedy in the Phoenix area since April 2006.
Jerry is also the throwing half of an award-winning competitive Dog Frisbee team (with his Australian Shepherd, Dakota).
Testimonials
"I wanted to express my sincere thanks to you and Irene for such a great show! Wow, I wasn't sure exactly what to expect, but you guys were really awesome! I loved each part - Ask the Experts was one of the funniest things I've seen. Loved it!"
- Jayne Truran
"BRAVO to you and the rest of your gang on a GREAT show!! We were really impressed. We knew you were funny, but we thought it was more of a personal defect rather than an asset. Alas, we now stand corrected. You and the skinny guy, doing the refrigerator tragedy with accents...that was GREAT!! In fact, it was right up there with many bits we've all probably seen of so called "professional" improv actors. Really good!"
- Jim DeFazio
