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, Robert’s unique, honest take on his own life and his relationships makes his comedy clever, abrasive, funny, yet refreshingly vulnerable.
