His screen credits include writing and performing on the sketch series Sherman’s Showcase  on IFC/Hulu and writing for major live-television events like the BET Awards. He has also appeared in shows such as South Side, Good Times and the special The Roast of Tom Brady.


In festival/comedy circuit accolades, Rob was a New Face at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival and winner of the Laughing Skull Comedy Festival and Athens Last Comic Standing Contest, and a  finalist in the NBC Stand Up for Diversity contest.

A former Political Science major, Rob began his comedy journey by performing humorous poems at college open-mics before pivoting to stand-up.  His style blends clever wordplay with pop-culture references, delivered in a relaxed, inclusive tone. He seeks to bring audiences together rather than divide them, making him a versatile choice for clubs, festivals, corporate engagements and writing rooms alike.

Comedy Writing & Performance Workshop

6-Week Course | Beginner-Friendly | Culminates in a Live Showcase. Whether you’re a beginner ready to craft your first “tight five” or a seasoned comic looking to refine your material, this 6-week workshop is designed to elevate your comedy. Through weekly sessions, you'll explore essential topics such as joke structure, comedic style, point of view (POV), timing, stage presence, and delivery. Each class includes opportunities to perform your material in a supportive, collaborative environment that encourages experimentation and growth. Beyond writing jokes, this workshop helps strengthen overall communication skills—building confidence, enhancing stage presence, and learning how to authentically connect with an audience using humor as a tool. The course culminates in a live performance at the legendary Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase, where students take the stage and share their work with a live audience.

His album KATZKILLS was named one of the Top 5 Comedy Albums of the Year by Vulture.com, who called it “a raucous comedy party.” Louis’ first one-hour special was released on Epix in 2022 as part of the Unprotected Sets series, and his latest special, Present/Tense, was released independently on YouTube in late 2023, becoming an instant hit with over a million views in just a few months.
