For those of you who are unaware, Robert Hawkins is in town for one more night of hilarity at the soon to be gone, Comedy TN.
He is a genius of the stage. As of Thursday, a 19 year veteran of stand up comedy. Despite the less than packed house that he filled, he still killed. He didn't hate the audience and he didn't make people feel bad about the numbers coming out to support him. His jokes are silly, topical, slightly evil, but always incredible hilarious.
Jaded comics that have sat through many-a-open mic and half-assed comedy show were in tears, because Hawkins makes everyone laugh. Sure, the topics could get to low brow humor, but the references go to the obscure, making even the most pretentious and PC intellectual break down into gut laughs.
If I can tell you nothing else about who is funny, go see Robert Hawkins next time he is in your general vicinity, because he will not disappoint.
Check him out at Crackle.com (Live from the Purple Onion) and you'll see why he is a master of his craft. Watch him over again and wonder why everything is still funny. Watch him again and stop questioning his ability, for you do not know the ways of the Hawk.
