We had the good fortune of connecting with Carli Robe and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Carli, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I pursued an artistic/creative career because I’ve had many different jobs and being a comedian has been the first and only job where I felt like I’m really making a difference in this world. It gives me a sense of purpose and I feel that I can truly change lives through comedy.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I started out as a host of various shows and performing as a christian comic while attending The Ohio State University; I have grown into a quick witted, no holds barred comic over the last seven years. I believe that laughter can bring people together no matter how far apart they may start, my diverse background helps me relate to any crowd. Comedy is one of the hardest professions to try to make a mark in. It’s not easy, I overcome challenges everyday. Lessons I’ve learned along the way are to just be yourself! I want people to know that I tried my best and all I ask is people let me be me!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
To be honest we are in an apocalypse I’m not doing anything but ordering door dash and streaming TV.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
RIP to my friend LaDonna Eppinger. She passed away in November 2019 and she always believed that I would do great things with my comedy. In just a years time of her proclaiming this I’ve performed along side of several of my comedy idles. It’s people like her who believed in me before I believed in myself that keep me going today. Love you Donna, always!!!
