Sinbad @ Kingsbury Hall (SLC: Sept 24)

Press Release

Sinbad Brings One-Man Comedy Show to Kingsbury Hall

September 7, 2010: Ranked by Comedy Central as one of the top 100 standup comedians of all time, Sinbad has kept audiences laughing for more than two decades. Sinbad will perform as part of Homecoming Week at Kingsbury Hall on the University of Utah campus on Friday, September 24 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $19.50 - $39.50 and are available by calling 801-581-7100 or visiting www.kingtix.com.

Sinbad has built a loyal following by taking audiences’ painful trials or embarrassing tribulations of day-to-day life and making them funny. The basis of his humor comes from everyone he’s meets, everything he’s seen, and everything he’s done. He can also make it sound profound without being profane. Not that he’s any kind of choirboy, but, being the son of a preacher man, he decided to keep his comedy clean after his father attended one of his early performances.

Sinbad has starred in the television sitcom “A Different World” as well as his own series, “The Sinbad Show”. He has appeared on the FX Television series “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.” His long awaited stand-up special aired on Comedy Central this past February. Most recently, Sinbad was seen in the third season of NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice. Showing his appreciation for our armed servicemen, the comedian/actor has participated on USO tours and performed at the USO of Hampton Roads 2006 Patriotic Festival.
