Robert G. Lee is a warm-up comic for many of Norman Lear’s live audience sit-coms, bringing his unique clean comedy to the set, episode after episode.
How does he do it? What drives Robert G. Lee? Tune in and listen to our conversation–I learned a lot and laughed along the way. Grab a coffee, or get that workout started–and enjoy listening to a guy who understands the power of bringing faith to the office, and the stage.
