The Grove Theatre Presents Sinbad, 4/4

Sinbad will perform a one-night only stand-up event at The Grove Theatre in Sinbad - Laughter is the Best Medicine. Produced by Robert Sarzo of SARZO Management Group, this special event will benefit the Be Aware Foundation, Breast Cancer Research Group.  Sinbad redefined stand-up comedy and turned it into a family affair. Sinbad with his wit and humor will take us away for a night of laughs and stories from his extensive career in comedy as we pay tribute to women and everyone who has been touched by breast cancer. 

With an ability to tell profound stories without being profane, he became one of the most highly sought after comedians of the 1980s and early 1990s, press notes state. He first made his mark on TV as a regular on the hit series “A Different World” (NBC, 1987-1993) as a coach and dorm director who clowned around as much as the college students he was in charge of. He also starred in several successful HBO comedy specials including “Sinbad: Brain Damaged” (1990) and “Sinbad: Afros and Bellbottoms” (1993). In his shows, the larger-than-life comic kept audiences laughing by sharing hilarious and spontaneous stories instead of churning out one punch line after another.  

The son of a preacher man, Sinbad never cursed during his act and was always mindful of the younger audience who also flocked to his family-friendly feature films like “Houseguest” (1995) and “Jingle all the Way” (1996). After his career went on hiatus in the 2000s, Sinbad reemerged in 2010 as a contestant on the NBC reality competition series “Celebrity Apprentice” 2008- ). That same year, he starred in the Comedy Central aptly-titled special “Sinbad: Where U Been."

"We are ecstatic to be able to have such an outstanding comedian support our breast cancer research group.  This is an honor to see people giving back and directing their efforts to fund such an important cause," said Paul Colacchio, Director of Project Management, Breastlink.
