I make the funny

I get it, booking entertainment can feel like a gamble. My goal is to make the process smooth and professional. From opening night to the final curtain, I keep the laughs rolling and the audience on the edge of their seats!
— Robert Lok aka ROB

Though a proud New Yorker at heart, Rob Lok's stage has truly been the world for three decades. His career has taken him to unforgettable places—from entertaining children in Kosovo refugee camps under armed guard to bringing joy to audiences in Andkhoi, Afghanistan. He once rode a motorcycle on a high wire, but he believes the real thrill
(and risk!) is always the comedy.

Rob's training at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College gave him an amazing foundation, and he's happily taken that show on the road—literally!

He's brought the laughs to every corner of the globe, including a memorable stop at the Yekaterinburg International Clown Festival in Russia. Performing worldwide isn't just about travel; it's about connecting with people, and Rob is proud to share the fun and tradition of the American circus with audiences everywhere.

Rob thrives on the spontaneity of live audiences, and his love for classic physical comedy shines through in every performance. He's relentlessly dedicated to his craft, training with masters in acting, movement, circus, puppetry, and acrobatics worldwide.

You might have caught his work on The Today Show, MTV, HBO, and more, or seen him highlighted in various feature articles and documentaries. When you book Rob, you're not just getting a performer; you're getting three decades of world-class, drama-free spectacle.

FUN FACT: 

Rob Lok briefly dabbled in competitive eating, achieving his claim to fame by consuming 12 pounds of curry and rice in under 20 minutes!

BONUS Here is a video of Rob smashing a watermelon with his head on national television in America. Don't worry. He doesn't do it anymore.
