Who Is She?

Recently she wrote Rosie O’Donnell's jokes, monologue and presenter introductions for the Matrix Awards in New York City. Featured presenters included Martha Stewart, Rupert Murdoch and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Robin’s original comedy songs have played on Sirius Satellite Radio’s Raw Dog Comedy Channel.
