Tickets are $30 and can be purchased by visiting the State Theatre Box Office, 453 Northampton Street, Easton, by calling 1-800-999-STATE, 610-252-3132 or online at www.statetheatre.org. Sponsored by Samuel Adams Pennsylvania Brewery and 99.9 The Hawk. The performance is for mature audiences only.

A regular to the State Theatre's comedy schedule, Bobby Collins knows the venue and the audience well. "The State Theatre in Easton, PA is a place where I feel very comfortable," says Collins, "there's a reason why I come back every year."

Named after his father's favorite comedian, Bob Hope, Bobby Collins has the combination of the physical comedy of Jerry Lewis and the heart of George Burns creating a born storyteller everyone can relate to. He's an American Comedy Award winner, a Grammy nominee, has his own Showtime Special, and has hosted comedy shows for VH-1, A&E and Showtime.

A native of New York, Bobby left a lucrative position as vice president of Calvin Klein to pursue his comedic dream and ended up working alongside such comedy legends as Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno. While other comics have left stand-up behind, Bobby has kept going, preferring the intimacy and energy he finds in live clubs, theaters and casinos.

Realizing his dream has given Bobby the opportunity to tour with titans of entertainment like Frank Sinatra, Cher, Julio Iglesias and Dolly Parton. As a professional stand-up comedian, he's worked alongside friends, Chris Rock, Ray Romano and Drew Carey, as well as many others. Rosie O'Donnell specifically requested that Bobby take over as host for Stand-Up Spotlight. Collins is widely regarded as a "comic's comic."

Through his personal appearances at Comedy Clubs, Theaters, Corporate and Charity events, coupled with innumerable television appearances on legendary shows like Letterman, The Tonight Show with both Jimmy Fallon and Jay Leno, Collins continues to add new fans of all ages to his loyal base of diehard followers.

It is his relationship with his audiences that results in sold out shows everywhere he makes an appearance. What you see is what you get - Collins is the same man on and off the stage. Bobby Collins has a genuine love for what he does. With such skillful dissection of everyday life, he weaves his uproarious storytelling with effortless flair and charisma as he successfully dismantles any and all socioeconomic, race and age divides. As evidenced by his birthday performance for Chelsea Clinton at the White House, to appearances in US embassies and USO shows abroad. Night after night, Bobby Collins masterfully reflects the hilarious truth - we're all in this together!

Bobby currently has 5 CD's and 3 DVD's with the most recent DVD having been recorded live at the State Theatre during his 2015 appearance.
