(HOLMDEL, NJ) -- Bobby Collins comes to Bell Theater for a night of comedy to showcase the talent behind five comedy albums, three recorded specials, and two books. The event takes place Thursday, November 6, 2025 at Bell Theater at Bell Works. Showtime is 7:30pm.

Comedian Bobby Collins has an ability to truthfully translate the human condition. Audiences across the country relate to his comedic characterizations as he exposes the humor of day-to-day situations as well as serving up resplendent rants on world events. Through precise physical timing and impeccable audience insight, he has honed his talents while performing from hole-in-the-wall clubs to sold-out theaters. Bobby Collins’ rise to top headlining, comedic master was inevitable. His true dedication to his craft is what keeps his vibrant shows consistently sold out.

A Native New Yorker, Bobby has had the opportunity to tour with titans of entertainment like Frank Sinatra, Cher, Julio Iglesias and Dolly Parton. As a professional stand-up comedian, he’s worked alongside friends, Chris Rock, Ray Romano and Drew Carey, as well as many others. Rosie O’Donnell specifically requested that Bobby take over as host for Stand-Up Spotlight. He's also made innumerable television appearances on legendary shows like Letterman and The Tonight Show with both Jimmy Fallon and Jay Leno. Collins is widely regarded as a “comic’s comic.”

Tickets range from $42-$48 and are available for purchase online or by calling 732-531-9106. Bell Theater is located at 101 Crawfords Corner Road, Holmdel, NJ, inside the iconic Bell Works complex on the lower level, with plenty of free parking.

In addition to their main venue in Ocean Township, the Axelrod Performing Arts Center proudly operates Bell Theater, a new cultural hub located at the historic Bell Works in Holmdel, NJ.
