The Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, in partnership with Flying Saucer Presents, proudly welcomes stand-up comedian Robert Klein to the stage on Sunday, January 20, 2019!
For more than 40 years, Robert Klein has entertained audiences and he continues to have an acclaimed career in comedy, on Broadway, on television, and in film. Rolling Stone Magazine named him one of the “50 Best Stand-Up Comics of All Time” and remarked that if “you like observational and autobiographical stand-up, then you have Robert Klein to thank.”
Born in the Bronx, Klein was a member of the famed “Second City” theatrical troupe in Chicago. He was nominated twice for Grammy Awards for “Best Comedy Album of the Year” for his albums Child of the Fifties and Mind Over Matter. He received a Tony Award nomination for Best Actor, and won a Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award for his performance in the hit Neil Simon musical, “They’re Playing Our Song.” In 1993, Klein won an Obie and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in Wendy Wasserstein’s, “The Sisters Rosensweig.”
In 1975, Klein was the first comedian to appear in a live concert on Home Box Office (HBO). He has gone on to do nine one-man shows for HBO and received his first Emmy nomination for Outstanding Music and Lyrics in 2001 for Robert Klein: Child in His 50’s. Klein released “Robert Klein: The HBO Specials 1975-2005,” a collector’s DVD box set to critical acclaim. His most recent special for HBO, “Robert Klein: Unfair and Unbalanced” aired on June 12, 2010 and is also available as a DVD. This special earned him a second Emmy nomination in 2011 for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics.
