Bio
Robert Keller

Coined one of the best-looking comics to hit the New York scene in years (by his mom), Robert Keller has performed at some of New York City's top comedy clubs, including Caroline’s, Stand Up New York, and the Gotham Comedy Club.  He has also performed at L.A.'s world-famous Comedy Store, as well as at comedy clubs in Canada and the U.K. 

In July 2007, Robert made his Canadian television debut as one of eight finalists on The Second City's Next Comedy Legend, a co-production of CBC Television and the Second City.  In 2006, he hosted his own weekly stand-up comedy show at a popular gay lounge in Midtown Manhattan.  Robert's comedy has also been featured on various radio programs in Canada, in both English and French.

Robert's dry, acerbic wit shines a light on the struggles of being gay and single in New York, as well as on the insane stuff his family, boss, and hairstylist come up with, apparently just to make his life difficult. And while he cannot name each of Judy Garland's five husbands, he makes up for it by owning every Celine Dion CD ever made. (Even the French ones.) 
 
Robert appeared Off-Off-Broadway in The Best Party Ever, a saucy, irreverent satire about sex and socializing in college and the corporate boardroom.  In June 2007, he starred in the short film Stacked Deck, which was selected as one of the top 10 films of the New York round of the 48 Hour Film Project, an international film competition.  In 2006, Robert was featured in his own episode of Can't Get A Date, the VH-1/Logo series that takes a biting, humorous look at the pitfalls of dating in the big city.

In addition to stand-up and acting, Robert has performed improvisational comedy at New York's Upright Citizens Brigade Theater and has written material for other comics and for the current Prime Minster of Canada.  (Shout out to the Right Honourable S.Harp., y'all!)  While his first love is comedy, he often passes the hours between gigs by pretending to work as a Wall Street lawyer, drafting official-sounding documents like "legal memoranda" and such.  (Mostly, though, he just surfs the internet.)
