Free Standup: “Titus”‘s Robert Hawkins | The Punchline

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Robert Hawkins’ first love is performing comedy in a club in front of a live audience, and he’s pretty damn good at it. See him do his thing live at The Punchline on June 13, 2013.

Free, but you must RSVP by calling The Punchline at 415-397-7573 on Thursday, June 13, 2013 from 3-6 pm and mentioning code-word “FunCheapSF” to get two free tickets. (18+ over only. Two drink minimum.)

You know, an enormous number of comics—including the vast majority of those who pass through the friendly little place we like to call Cap City—maintain career objectives that include aspirations toward acting in a sitcom, or writing for one. But, hell, Robert Hawkins has already done both—in the same series, no less: the late, lamented “Titus.”

In 1993, he won the California State University Comedy Competition, while the next year he was a finalist in the San Francisco International Comedy Competition, a contest as venerable and prestigious as Funniest Person In Austin. Then, in 1996, he wowed audiences and industry figures in Montreal at the Just For Laughs International Comedy Festival, which led to Robert being awarded the aforementioned Fox development deal.

In 2001, he was voted one of the 25 top comics in the country in a poll of comedy club owners nominating candidates for the American Comedy Awards. And, perhaps needless to say (given all these victories, achievements and accolades), he’s starred in his own Comedy Central half-hour special, appeared on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien,” and a slew of other TV shows.
