Robert Kelly will be appearing at Side Splitters between December 8 – 11, 2011.

Robert Kelly has overcome many hardships in his life, all of which have made him the actor/comedian he is today. From his early days as a kid growing up in Boston in and out of Juvenile Hall, Kelly's unique, honest take on his own life and his relationships make his comedy clever, abrasive, funny, and yet refreshingly vulnerable.

He has been winning over audiences for the last 18 years. In addition to clubs and colleges nationwide, Kelly has traveled across the country in the "Tourgasm Live" tour with Dane Cook and Gary Gulman. He is a regular on the Opie and Anthony radio show and has performed at the "Just For Laughs Festival" in Montreal (2008 and 2010). He has also appeared at the South Beach Comedy Festival, HBO's Comedy Festival (Las Vegas), and the HBO US Comedy Arts Festival (Aspen 2007). In 2009, he performed for over 1 million people in 80 arenas across the country as a feature on Dane Cook's, "Isolated Incident Tour."

His extensive TV comedy credits include the recent Comedy Central Special "Comics Anonymous," "Comedy Central PresentsÉRobert Kelly," HBO's "Tourgasm," "Jimmy Kimmel Live" (ABC), "Premium Blend" (Comedy Central), "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn" (Comedy Central), "The Carson Daly Show" (NBC), "Awesomely Oversexed" (VH1) and MTV's "The Jim Breuer Show."

Kelly's acting credits include portraying Louie CK's brother (Robbie) on "Louie" (FX), "Law & Order" (NBC), "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" (NBC), as a detective playing opposite, Vincent D'Onofrio, on NBC's "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," and a guest starring role on "The Job" with Denis Leary (ABC).

His movie credits include "Ghost Town," "What Doesn't Kill You," "Children of Invention," "Bachelor No. 2" and "Good Luck Chuck." He also just finished producing and starring in his first short film, "Shooting Angles."

Kelly currently lives in New York City with his wife and their two dogs.

Appearing next weekend: APRIL MACIE December 15 – 18
This show is rude, rough, and raunchy! If you like it nasty, then we have the show for you. April has a potty mouth and is proud of it. A veteran of the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival, she has been seen on our stage once, and since then, people having been begging for her to come back.

April Macie, from NBC's Last Comic Standing, looks like a nice young lady. But wait until she opens her mouth!

Do you remember the girl in your highschool who had a horrible rumor spread about her? It might have involved a football team, a dog and some peanut butter or processed meat. Well, that girl in Easton, Pennsylvania was April Macie. So, where did she turn for comfort? Not to her family... cause' they're all crazy. Crazy or drunk... oh yeah, or slightly retarded. So, where do you go when you're an outcast in school and your family tree is rotten? While some might sit rocking in the fetal position... slowly humming Copa CopaCabbana, others might turn to the lord and April turned to promiscuity. Promiscuity and then comedy. With her irreverent brand of overtly sexual humor she attempts to break down double-standards and lend her voice to sexually dissatisfied women everywhere. April would like to add that she doesn't really know what irreverent means, but she's heard a lot of other comics use it and thought it sounded kinda' cool. "Her comedy is searingly honest," said this guy she knows from working at Hooter's who came to see her show one time. Although she has only been doing comedy for a short period of time, she has been using comedy as a defense her entire life. She loves to perform and her favorite role to play is victim. For April, comedy isn't a career, comedy isn't even a choice. Comedy is a calling!! She totally stole that quote from Bernie Mac... but it's soooo great and she truly believes it is her calling. April also loves to talk about herself in the third person and thinks "bios" are retarded.
