ABOUT ROBIN
Robin Reiser is a writer, award-winning comedian, and actress.
Her years of performing Improv, coupled with her caring for both her father and grandmother through Alzheimers led her to create Say Yes to the Moment, a program that uses improv tools to help dementia caregivers communicate and connect. She simultaneously founded Yes, And…, a company that uses improv games for corporate team building,
A few of Robin’s stand up comedy clips went viral on YouTube, had her shortlisted for Variety’s Comics to Watch, and made her an audience favorite on Last Comic Standing. She can also be seen doing commentary on E! and Oxygen. Her work on Jenee LeMarque’s short, Spoonful, brought her to Sundance and landed her a role in LeMarque’s feature The Pretty One starring Zoe Kazan, Frankie Shaw, and Jake Johnson.
Among her video and sketch work, Robin wrote and starred in a parody short call Boob Toob which was a hit on the front page of Funny or Die and wrote and plays all the roles in the web series PINK EYE, directed by Sarah Feeley. Other film and TV credits include Henry Jaglom’s Going Shopping, Andy Bergmann’s Jackrabbit Sky, and the series Girl’s Night Out. Robin has sold and developed several scripted and unscripted TV shows, including collaborating with brother, Will Reiser, on The High Life which sold to NBC.
Live performance has always been Robin’s first love. When she was a child her father, Robert Reiser, was a resident playwright at the Henry Street Theater in Manhattan, and she loved to hide backstage, captivated by every aspect of performance. After 20 years in Los Angeles, Robin has returned to the Northeast and is having a blast back on stage. She regularly performs as part of a Improvised Murder Mystery called Cluedunnit and has co-written and performed in several immersive theatrical productions that put the audience smack in the middle of the story.
I never dreamt we’d get someone as great as Robin. She’s an amazing stand up comedian!

PODCASTS
PINK EYE
“Enjoy this Supertiny Superlovely Super-series by my Superpal Robin Reiser! SUPERFFUN!
— Maria Bamford
Created by comedian Robin Reiser (Last Comic Standing, E!, Sundance, NBC), Pink Eye explores our clumsiest human failings and the hopes and visions that keep us going no matter how humiliated we are.
Pink Eye follows the journey of an unlikely woman who finds her super-power at the bottom of a urinal. With all the best intentions, barely any confidence, and no clue, she attempts entry to the super-hero world so she can use her power for good, but finds it takes much more than a superpower to be a hero.
Pink Eye was inspired by our desire to do more with our ordinary “super-powers” and frustration at the difficulty we all find when trying to enact change in our lives, or better yet, affect the world at large.
You can watch all three episode of Pink Eye below.
