ABOUT
ROB
With over 16 years of captivating audiences, Rob Santos transitioned from the vibrant comedy scene of New York City back to Connecticut to redefine his life. Rob’s comedy career soared in NYC’s most iconic clubs, including Caroline’s, New York Comedy Club, and The Comic Strip. After moving to Connecticut, he earned the title of finalist for Funniest Comedian in New England and performed at prestigious venues such as Comix at Foxwoods and The Hartford Funny Bone.
In 2020, Rob’s ingenuity shone through with his special, "860: America's Bedtime Story," which he streamed live during the pandemic lockdown. Driven by his creative vision, Rob then launched "Beige," a revival of his earlier project, "Beige on Both Sides." With over $40,000 raised—much of it during the pandemic—Rob and his team brought this ambitious project to life. "Beige" premiered at Theater Works in Hartford in April 2024 and has since achieved notable acclaim, being selected for the Los Angeles Comedy Film Festival and the Bridgeport Film Fest in 2024. It will also be featured on Gen B TV, a FAST network available on Roku TV, this fall.
