Robert Kelly has overcome many hardships in his life, all of which have made him the actor/comedian he is today. From his early days as a kid growing up in Boston in and out of Juvenile Hall, Kelly's unique, honest take on his own life and his relationships make his comedy clever, abrasive, funny, but yet refreshingly vulnerable.
He has been winning over audiences for the last 18 years. In addition to clubs and colleges nationwide, Kelly has traveled across the country in the “Tourgasm Live” tour with Dane Cook and Gary Gulman. He is a regular on the Opie and Anthony radio show and has performed at the Just For Laughs Festival (Montreal 2010 & 2008), the South Beach Comedy Festival, HBO's Comedy Festival (Las Vegas), and the HBO US Comedy Arts Festival (Aspen 2007). In 2009, he performed in front of over 1 million people in 80 arenas across the country as a feature on the “Isolated Incident Tour.”
His extensive TV comedy credits include the recent Comedy Central Special “Comics Anonymous,” “Comedy Central Presents…Robert Kelly,” “Tourgasm” on HBO, “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on ABC, “Premium Blend” on Comedy Central, "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn" on Comedy Central, "The Carson Daly Show” on NBC, “Awesomely Oversexed” on VH1 and “The Jim Breuer Show” on MTV.
Kelly's acting credits also include portraying Louie CK?s brother (Robbie) on “Louie” on FX, Law & Order” on NBC, “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” on NBC, and he appeared as a detective playing opposite Vincent D'Onofrio on “Law & Order: Criminal Intent” on NBC and a guest starring role on "The Job" on ABC with Denis Leary. His movie credits include “Ghost Town,” “What Doesn't Kill You,” “Children of Invention”, “Bachelor No. 2” and “Good Luck Chuck.” He also just finished producing and starring in his first short film “Shooting Angles.”
