Bob has released several comedy albums, including Robert Schimmel Comes Clean; If You Buy This CD, I Can Get This Car; Unprotected; and Reserection.

In 1997, he headlined at Montreal’s Juste Pour Rire (Just For Laughs), the world’s largest international comedy festival.

According to Schimmel, his career began when, at the urging of his sister, he performed at a comedy club ’s open-mic night.Robert “Bob” George Schimmel (born 1950) is an American stand-up comedian whose material is often X-rated and controversial. He wrote material for In Living Color and for comedians such as Yakov Smirnoff.

While in treatment he immediately noticed how depressing and difficult chemotherapy was for the many patients in the infusion center.Born in the Bronx, Robert Schimmel’s ‘big break’ came in 1986 when Rodney Dangerfield invited Robert to perform on his HBO Young Comedians Special (also debuting Andrew ‘Dice’ Clay, Bill Hicks, Dom Irrera, and Carol Leifer), which led to his critically-acclaimed Showtime specials Hard Core in the Big Apple and Robert Schimmel: Guilty As Charged.

His treatments included chemotherapy and required long stays in the hospital.During one such session his daughter Jessica brought her boss, Melissa, to visit Bob, and the two began an unlikely May-December romance.

Thanks for coming back to Tempe again so soon, looking forward to the show.HEY ROBERT, JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW YOU ARE THE BEST STAND UP COMEDIAN I HAVE EVER HEARD, BUYIN YOUR BOOK THIS WEEKEND AND IF YA EVER COME TO ALABAMA ILL BE THERE!!!

Schimmel’s willingness to frankly and humorously discuss the tragic events of his life in his act has set him apart from other comics.Bob’s cancer went into remission, he and Vicki divorced, and Bob married Melissa, who is only two years older than Jessica.

I really enjoy your comedy… So much that one time I almost wrecked the car while listening to one of your bits on XM 150.

Consistent delivery has made him a regular on several shows, including The Howard Stern Show and Late Night with Conan O’Brien, on which he has appeared seven times!
