Craig Robinson takes to the South Bay stage
Craig Robinson was a breakout star on “The Office,” beginning his tenure as Darryl Philbin, a small character in the warehouse, before becoming a keyboard-playing, executive-level love interest with the main cast.
He’s also starred in “Hot Tub Time Machine,” “This Is the End” on the big screen, and the short-lived TV show “Mr. Robinson.” But he’s continued working as a stand-up comedian throughout. Expect a blend of comedy with a heavy musical edge during his visit to the San Jose Improv this weekend, Friday-Sunday, Sept. 23-25.
In the meantime, his musical stylings can be sampled on YouTube. We suggest starting with the “Sexy Public Domain Songs” he performed with James Corden on the “The Late Late Show.”
