Sinbad's name recalls the literary legend that symbolizes
strength, adventure and optimism and is what he strives for. Born in
Benton Harbor, Michigan, Sinbad grew up telling jokes to his three
brothers and two sisters. The image sticks: Sinbad the wild child,
off-the-wall Sinbad who would do anything for attention, free as the wind,
an unpredictable force that can’t be harnessed, and always willing to pay
any price, looking for laughs.
Sinbad never tells jokes- “I don’t know any,” he admits-but rather stalks
the stage, telling real-life stories. He doesn’t deliver payoff lines; he
slam-dunks them. His comedy is large, physical, and impetuous.
Psychologically, he jams us, poking holes in our lifestyles. His stories
mirror our foibles. His is the explosive energy of the neighborhood; his
phrasing is manic, musical and right on time. He doesn’t write his
material; he relives it as he remembers it.
Sinbad made his big screen debut in the 1991 gridiron comedy Necessary
Roughness. His other motion picture credits include a starring role in
Houseguest and a cameo in Coneheads. Sinbad was the voice of the canine
Riley in Homeward Bound II. On television, he starred in the title role of
The Cherokee Kid on HBO; was star and executive producer of his own
acclaimed Fox TV sitcom, The Sinbad Show and Sinbad’s Summer Jam Weekend
IV airing on HBO. Sinbad’s Summer Jam won the prestigious NAACP Image
Award consecutively for two years in the “Most Outstanding Variety
Series/Special” category.
Sinbad, who has built a loyal following with sold-out comedy shows and has
gone from being one of America’s best-loved and funniest comedians to
national stardom on television and movies, brings his observations to the
printed page. From love to layaway, parenting to primping, weight loss to
the World Wide Web, Sinbad’s Guide To Life [Because I Know Everything] has
been published on Bantam Books.
Sinbad is an active board member for Inner City Games and his alliances
with Intel Corporation and also with Break Away Technologies has supported
the opening of Computer Clubhouses nationwide. Sinbad serves as an
Ambassador to community focused technology solutions because he believes
no one should be left behind in technology training. As a spokesperson for
the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering (NACME), Sinbad
encourages minorities to pursue studies in science, math and engineering.
Sinbad is number 78 on Comedy Central's list of the 100 greatest standups
of all time.
