Sinbad Performs at the Van Wezel, 12/16
by Kelsey Denette - December 03, 2011
Sinbad's " hit'em in the face" style has kept audiences laughing for the past two decades. Sinbad tells stories, and boy does he tell stories! Ranked by Comedy Central as one of the top 100 standup comedians of all time, Sinbad has built a loyal following by taking day-to-day life situations and causing an uproar of comedic hysteria. Sinbad's not any kind of choirboy, but he is the son of a preacher man. He decided to keep his comedy clean after his father attended one of his early (less clean) performances, and says that he learned that night that "funny is funny," no need for profanity.
