Billy Robinson

Billy was born in the housing projects of Steubenville, Ohio, a place known for gambling, alcohol, drugs, prostitution and Dean Martin. Breaking away from the high expectations of his family who wanted him to work in the steel mill, Billy went down the path of alcohol and violence that led him to some very strange places before reaching a point where he could recover. Currently, in addition to his comedy, Billy is a drug and alcohol counselor for jails and prisons.

Billy has always used his biting sense of humor to get through the trials and tribulations of a tough life and an even tougher livelihood. His stinging observations won't tickle your funny bone - it will break it - from laughing at the sheer honesty with which Billy looks at the hypocrisy of life.

He currently lives in Pittsburgh with his wife Lorraine and his daughter Mackenzie, 11, who is bound to either follow in her father's footsteps, or become a lawyer.
