Phoebe Robinson
Writer, actress and comedienne Phoebe Robinson came to attention exploring race, gender and pop culture in various blogs, podcasts and essays, while also showcasing her talents behind-the-scenes on "Broad City" (Comedy Central, 2014-), "Girl Code" (MTV, 2013-15) and "White Guy Talk Show" (Fuse, 2015). Born in Bedford Heights, OH in 1984, Robinson studied screenwriting at the Pratt Institute before moving into stand-up comedy in her twenties and becoming a regular face on the New York circuit. Robinson started to gain a wider audience with the launch of her blog, Blaria, in 2012, later going on to write for the likes of Glamour, The New York Times and Vanity Fair, while a year later she made her screen debut in an episode of satirical comedy "Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell" (FX, 2013). Appearances on "Last Comic Standing" (NBC, 2014-15), "Late Night with Seth Meyers" (NBC, 2014-) and "The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore" (Comedy Central, 2015-16) further boosted her profile, as did a guest spot on "Broad City" (Comedy Central, 2014-), the slacker sitcom she also served as consultant on. Robinson was then appointed as a writer for late night series "White Guy Talk Show" (Fuse, 2015), showed up on Natasha Rothwell's episode of "Netflix Presents: The Characters" (Netflix, 2016) and landed the supporting role of Suki in Jill Soloway's love triangle dramedy "I Love Dick" (Amazon, 2016-). Robinson also became a popular podcast favorite with "2 Dope Queens," a showcase of diverse comedians co-hosted with one-time "The Daily Show" (Comedy Central, 1996-) senior correspondent Jessica Williams, and its spin-off "Sooo Many White Guys." In 2016, she published a collection of essays entitled You Can't Touch My Hair (And Other Things I Still Have to Explain), and a year later entered the film world as Charlene in gross-out comedy "In Case of Emergency" (2017). The following year, Robinson published her second book of essays, Everything's Trash, but It's Okay (2018) and transitioned "2 Dope Queens" (HBO 2018- ) to a new cable TV home. She next appeared in the Taraji P. Henson comedy "What Men Want" (2019).
