Robin Bach spent most of grade school in the principal’s office as a result of her love of being the center of attention, so it’s not unusual she finds herself centerstage these days.
Robin dove into the standup arena at the ripe age of 40. Looking at the world through reading glasses, she shares her sarcastic and witty observations about women, men and everything else from A to Z with audiences around the country.
Robin’s background in life includes a 25-year stint in the corporate world, ten of those years as a temp. Bach says, “Why do people always blame the temp when something goes wrong? My stint at Arthur Andersen didn’t work out – big deal, so I shredded a few things. Then there was that Enron assignment – I’m not a math major, go figure.”
Robin grew up in Chicago – the product of a happy go lucky dysfunctional family. Her past serves her well as constant fodder for comedy as she shares her take on the world and society at large.
