Robert Kelly returns to Comedy Central in the world premiere of ROBERT KELLY: LIVE AT THE VILLAGE UNDERGROUND, debuting on Friday, January 9 at Midnight ET/PT.
Taped in front of a live audience in New York's famed Comedy Cellar at the Village Underground, the special shows Kelly's unique, honest take on life and relationships. Covering everything from the realities of getting older to that time he farted in a baby's face, Kelly regales the audience with his clever, abrasive, but refreshingly vulnerable humor.
Leading up to the on-air premiere,
Comedy Central Stand-Up will feature preview clips from the special. Fans can follow Kelly on Twitter at @robertkelly, and tweet using the hashtag #KellyUnderground to join the social chatter around the special.
