MANHATTAN, N.Y. - TelAve -- Komedians International, the world's largest standup comedy network, has branched out to Manhattan with their first live show on June 21 at the Broadway Comedy Club. This venture is part of their creation of the New York Komedians network. Bobby Collins will headline.

"Comedy is one of the best ways to bring people together. I started Komedians International during the pandemic and started running Zoom shows with performers from all over the globe but when things started opening up, I expanded this to include Komedian groups all over the world. We have had live shows in cities such as London, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. Now we are starting our New York Series. This is just the start of what we are planning," says Komedians International Founder Raouf Ganjee. "We live in a very divided world but we grow closer together when we can laugh together."

"Comedian Bobby Collins has distinguished himself as one of the Premier Comedians in our country. He 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.
