Craig Robinson and Jake Johannsen are coming up this month at Comedy Works!

Craig Robinson
Comedy Works South at the Landmark
October 13 - 15

Craig Robinson is arguably best known for his role as acerbic Dunder-Mifflin employee Darryl Philbin on NBC's Emmy-winning series The Office. Now Craig tours the country with his comedy and music shows!

As a stand-up comedian, Robinson first made his mark in the comedy circuit at the 1998 Montreal Just For Laughs Festival. He soon went on to perform his act on The Jimmy Kimmel Show and Real Time with Bill Maher. Now headlining venues and festivals across the country, Robinson does both solo acts as well as full-band sets - The Nasty Delicious - tying together his lyrical comedy with his finesse at the piano. Whether Robinson shows up with just his keyboard or also with his seven-man band, the clubs are packed to the brims with raucous laughter in response to the musical comedy on display.

Craig recently starred in the NBC sitcom Mr. Robinson, which was loosely based on Robinson's life pre-Hollywood success. Robinson's additional credits include the films Knocked Up, Pineapple Express, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, the Hot Tub Time Machine series and This is the End. He also made appearances on television shows including Lucky, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Eastbound & Down.

Jake Johannsen
Comedy Works Downtown in Larimer Square
October 20 - 22

A self-confessed raconteur of weird stories, it is no wonder that Jake Johannsen is one of David Letterman's favorite comics. With over forty Letterman appearances under his belt (not to mention a handful of Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and Politically Incorrect gigs) Jake is no stranger to late night television. His late night presence landed him his very own HBO comedy special, This'll Take About An Hour, which received incredible reviews, strong ratings, and a Cable Ace Award nomination for Best Writing in an Entertainment Special. People Magazine rated the special as one of the "ten best television shows of the year," and TV Guide named it one of the "50 Funniest Moments of TV."

Johannsen is also making his mark on the feature world. His other credits include appearances on Chelsea Lately and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, as well as his own Comedy Central half-hour special. Jake even appeared on the big screen next to Bruce Willis in the Alan Rudolph film Breakfast of Champions and in the television movie Ron White Comedy Salute to the Troops 2012.

Jake's bizarre take on life and his uniquely intelligent style have made him a regular at Comedy Clubs all over the country and a former host of Comedy Central's Two Drink Minimum. His most recent comedy special entitled I Love You, aired on Showtime and Netflix.
