No, the Other Robert Kelly

This one won’t (allegedly) pee on you.

If the name Robert Kelly sounds familiar, it might be because the famed bump-and-grind singer and alleged child urinator was all over the news fighting charges of soliciting a minor for pornography. He believed he could fly; that he did — right out of the courtroom, as a free man. So now that the media circus is over and the R is back to producing double-entendre-heavy music, let another Robert Kelly coast onto your radar. This one will make you laugh more than the other’s “Trapped in the Closet” hip-hopera, but that’s fine with us.

The comedian Robert Kelly’s stage energy is the type that a laugh-thirsty crowd dreams of, and haters, well, hate on. Plus, he’s so versatile he can switch seamlessly from raucous funnyman to a TV detective solving cases alongside Law & Order: Criminal Intent,/i> vets. Oh, so you can make us laugh and solve the hell out of a case? You’re our kind of guy. Sunday night is Robert’s final show on a four-day stint at the Improv, so believe us — this ball of energy will reach its peak tonight. The set starts at 8:30, and the laughs will cost you $16.05. Visit www.miamiimprov.com for more info and the drink menu — because the Improv “don’t see nothing wrong” with having a two-drink minimum.
