The Height of Comedy is 4' 11"

Standing a whopping 4'11".... Robin Fairbanks is no lightweigh t as she takes audiences on a fun-filled introspective journey into her somewhat twisted, dysfunctional world. You're in for one hilarious romp through life, all through the eyes of a woman who truly understands that, Life is short.

Robin's wide appeal can be attributed to her fresh, clean, mature wit, which gained her notoriety in the Northwest as one of Seattle's best up-and-coming comedians.

 A native Ohioan, Robin cut her teeth in Musical Theatre where she always found herself cast as the wacky character.  "It was said, that I wouldn't play a role unless I could wear fur, feathers, or a corset", Robin says laughingly.

Fondly known as, The Jingle Lady, Robin honed her writing skills as part of a creative team specializing in creating Musical Jingles and Radio/TV Commercials for Keynote Productions in Ohio, and for JingleBank, a division of TM Century in Dallas, TX.

Shortly upon her arrival in Seattle , Robin split her time as a contributing Writer/Cast Member of a local Sketch Comedy show,"The Night Shift", as well as appearing in local and national commercials and film. Robin's been heard on the NPR show "Weekday" and "America at Night" online.

Robin also founded, Comics for Causes, where she has twice taken shows to the soldiers of the USS Abraham Lincoln. Robin's dream?  To join fellow comics with, Comics on Tour for Armed Forces Entertainment.

She has opened for Headliners....Doug Stanhope, Maria Bamford, Ralph Harris, Alonzo Bodden, Sue Murphy and Bobby Slayton to name a few.  Besides regular appearances on a Northwest circuit of clubs and casinos, Robin also graced stages across Ohio, Oregon, Texas, and Pennsylvania.

Robin co-founded The Material Girls and The Divine Order of the Ha Ha Sisterhood shows in Seattle in 2003 to give up-and-coming female comics a place to hone their skills under the mentorship of professional working comics with audiences who craved their brand of humor.  Starting with just 10 female comics, currently over 30 comics are in rotation and continue to break attendance records 5 yrs later.
