Robert Schimmel

Robert "Bob" Schimmel is an American stand-up comedian whose material is often X-rated and controversial. He is perhaps best known for his comedy albums and his appearances on HBO and The Howard Stern Show. Schimmel's material almost always pertains to sex, whether he is discussing computers, his daughter, or animals. Schimmel's willingness to frankly and humorously discuss the tragic events of his life in his act has set him apart from other comics. Cancer on $5 a Day is Schimmel's autobiographical novel about his own struggle with cancer and how he over came it with humor.

Other TV shows Schimmel has been seen on include Hollywood Squares and The Simpsons, and he has been seen in the films Scary Movie 2, A Low Down Dirty Shame, and Blankman, as well as at the US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, where he delivered a stellar performance.
