Craig Robinson & The Nasty Delicious

In his first ever Australian tour, Craig Robinson will be heading down under to captivate audiences with his band, The Nasty Delicious.

Known best for his role as Darryl Philbin in the Emmy Award-winning show, The Office (US), Robinson has also starred in hit films Hot Tub Time Machine, This Is The End, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, and Pineapple Express.

Comprised of Robinson and his brother Chris Rob on vocals, David Sampson on vocals and guitar, Asa Watkins on drums, Ethan Farmer and Brian Cockerham on bass, Winston Byrd on trumpet, and Lakecia Benjamin and Reggie Hines on saxophone, the band has appeared on The Office, Last Comic Standing and The Montreal Comedy Festival.

Touring with his seven-man band on a comedic-musical adventure, Robinson has made his mark in the comedy circuit both as a solo act and with the full band, tying together his lyrical comedy genius with his incredible keyboard skills.

This tour down under promises to showcase the full set of Robinson’s unique talents alongside the band’s creative fusion of electric funk, Latin jazz, hard rock and soul – so come along for a night highlighting the perfect blend of stand up and musical comedy! (ES)
