Kenny Robinson is a Canadian comedy legend, actor, writer, and unapologetic truth-teller. In this conversation, David Peck talks with him about his new film The People of Comedy, now streaming on Crave. We explore the intersections of race, identity, and humour in Canada. We talk about comedy as protest, the power of laughter, and why Kenny has never shied away from speaking his mind. From growing up in Winnipeg to founding the iconic “Nubian Disciples of Pryor,” Kenny shares stories that are raw, real, and deeply relevant. This is a bold and brilliant take on what it means to be funny—and fearless.Synopsis:People of Comedy: Celebrating 30 Years of The Nubian Show is a powerful documentary from Counterfeit Pictures marking the anniversary of Kenny Robinson's groundbreaking comedy showcase. Launched in 1995 at Toronto's Yuk Yuk's, the Nubian Show became a vital platform for Black and Racialized comedians to share their stories and challenge the industry status quo. Blending stand-up, interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage, the film highlights the showcase's cultural impact and career-launching legacy, featuring appearances from Russell Peters, Hassan Phills, Crystal Ferrier, and more. A tribute to Robinson's bold vision and the enduring power of comedy as representation and resistance.Bio: The Fabulous Kenny Robinson is a living legend on the Canadian Comedy scene. Winner of the Phil Hartman Award, Kenny's irreverent, socially conscientious, intelligent, opinionated and profane style of comedy has made him a fixture and favourite with comedy clubs, festivals, swingers conventions, radio, and television audiences for over 3 decades.Raunchy, energetic, sharp witted, and sharply dressed; Kenny Robinson is a one-of-a kind act. Not for the weak of heart or narrow minded, Robinson assaults your sensibilities and funny bone with unspoken truths. The Winnipeg born, Chicago bred Robinson has hosted The Gemini Awards and was twice nominated for his writing and performance in his groundbreaking one hour special Thick and Thin on the CBC. Robinson's greatest legacy may well be his creation of The Nubian Disciples Of Pryor All Black Revue. The Nubian Show is a monthly showcase of comedians of colour, which has been one of the most exciting and successful nights of comedy in Canada since 1995.This showcase has mentored, and been a spotlight for such comics as Russell Peters, Jean Paul, Trey Anthony, Trixx, Ron Josol, and countless others. For 2 years he was one of the co-hosts of The Morning Rush on Flow 93.5fm, Canada's first black owned hip hop radio station.As an actor, Robinson has appeared in such films as Third Miracle with Ed Harris, Down To Earth with Chris Rock, Clement Virgo's Love comes Down, and David Sutherland's Love, Sex, and Eating the Bones.Whether the audience looks for his cutting observational perspectives, political, sexual or what comes up at the moment, Robinson's professional attitude and love for comedy will always deliver.F2F Music and Image Copyright: David Peck and Face2Face.

On the Saturday May 10, 2025 ediiton of The Richard Crouse Show we'll meet a living legend on the Canadian Comedy scene. The Winnipeg born, Chicago bred Kenny Robinson is often called the Godfather of Canadian comedy. His irreverent, socially conscience, intelligent, opinionated and profane style of comedy has made him a fixture and favourite with comedy clubs, festivals, radio, and television audiences for 3 decades. This year he celebrates 30 years of his live show Kenny Robinson's The Nubian Show, a monthly night of live comedy that has been the launching pad for many of Canada's Whose Who of Comedy and featured appearances by heavy weight comics like Dave Chappell, Kevin Hart, Russell Peters. A new documentary, “People Of Comedy: Celebrating 30 Years Of The Nubian Show,” now streaming on Crave, traces The Nubian Show's early beginnings at Toronto's Yuk Yuk's to its evolution into a powerful and unfiltered platform that has launched many careers, all under Kenny Robinson's watchful eye. Then we'll meet Luke Gordon Field, editor-in-chief of the Beaverton website, Canada's most trusted, least accurate news source, and co-executive producer of the critically acclaimed Beaverton television series. He has run The Beaverton since 2012, and is now the host of The Beaverton Weekly Report podcast, available wherever you find fine podcasts. Their press release says, “Every Wednesday Luke Gordon Field will assemble an all-star panel of comedians to talk, mock and riff their way through the news of the week. Their knowledge of the news will then be put to the test in a very important quiz where the stakes couldn't be lower. It's just like watching CNN, only funnier and with fewer erectile dysfunction ads.“

It's week two on tour in Canada, or the day after to be exact. I come in from the airport, turn on the camera, and burn through a list of people I have lost my tolerance for. I also offer up my suggestion for how to say no. Plus a guy on his speakerphone who may or may not own the Westminster Dog Show. Either way, he's an asshole. And finally, an outtake from a show in Ottawa where the crowd started out a little tight. Turns out they were just French. Please consider telling a friend if you dig what I do.
