Sinbad




Comedian Sinbad, takes the stage at the Tropicana Showroom on Saturday, October 20, in the Tropicana Showroom at 9 p.m.

Ranked in Comedy Central’s top 100 standup comedians of all time, actor and comedian Sinbad has kept audiences laughing in the aisles for over the past two decades. The basis of his humor comes from his life experience including people he has met and things he has seen and done. He has built a loyal following by taking audiences’ painful life trials and throwing them back in their faces with a hilarious spin.


Sinbad prides himself on being funny without being profane. Being the son of a preacher, he decided to keep his comedy clean after his father attended one of his early performances. “Funny is funny”, he says.


Sinbad is internationally known for his starring appearances in hit movies like “Jingle All the Way,” playing opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger; “Houseguest” co-starring the late Phil Hartman, and let’s not forget his film debut “Necessary Roughness”, where he did none of his own stunts! He also recently appeared as a recurring guest star on the Showtime Original Series “Resurrection Blvd.”




Sinbad has drawn fans from his HBO highly-rated comedy specials; “Brain Damaged” (1991), “Afros & Bellbottoms” (1993), “Son of a Preacher Man” (1996), and “Nuthin But The Funk” (1998). His annual HBO music concert series (Oh! You didn’t know he was musical?) “Sinbad’s 70’s Soul Music Festival” received the prestigious NAACP Image Award consecutively for two years as the “Most Outstanding Variety Series/Special.” He has even written a self-help book entitled “Sinbad’s Guide to Life: (Because I Know Everything)”.


Showing his appreciation for our armed servicemen, the comedian/actor has participated on USO tours and performed at the USO of Hampton Roads 2006 Patriotic Festival. Sinbad has appeared on the FX Television series “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.” Also, his long awaited stand-up special aired on Comedy Central this past February. Most recently, Sinbad was seen in the third season of NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice.
