Rob Little’s outlook on life can be summed-up in two words: Pure Optimism. At a young age, he developed and nurtured an upbeat philosophy about life. "In elementary school, kids would always pull food away from me at lunchtime saying mean, hurtful things like… ’Let go of my sandwich!’"
Fortunately, Rob’s ability to see things in a positive light, coupled with his desire to make people laugh, has served him well. While working in a lucrative position as a computer programmer for IBM, he decided to take a huge risk. The Detroit-born comic sent out an ALL-company e-mail that read "If you aren’t happy here, quit your job and follow your dream." IBM promptly gave him his walking papers, but getting fired was a blessing for Rob and comedy lovers nationwide. He now enjoys an incredibly successful career as a standup comedian and with an impressive and growing portfolio of television and film appearances, he is quickly earning national recognition.
Watch Rob in action, and you’ll agree that he is one of the very best stand-up comedians in the country. A sketch comedy player on the Fox Sports Net Show, "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" and "Last Call with Carson Daly," Little uses his training from the world famous Second City Comedy Club to create routines that are inventive, funny, spontaneous, and completely unique. He headlines clubs and colleges all over the country, has appeared in national television commercials and on such shows as “Strictly Sex with Dr. Drew,” Comedy Central’s “Distraction,” Fox News and SiTV’s “Latino Laugh Festival.” He also earned a role on the CBS network summer hit series, “Fire me Please.” Rob’s recently released 2nd comedy DVD/CD, “Haulin’ Ass,” is another testament to his talent and status as a comedic force.
Having established himself as one of the funniest, most progressive, new comedians in the country, it’s easy to understand why entertainment bookers call him "The Future of comedy with more contagious energy than the Energizer Bunny." The Detroit Free press selected him as Michigan’s “Best up and Coming Comedian,” and he earned the title of “finalist” in both the Seattle and San Francisco International Comedy Competitions. Rob was also selected as a feature performer at the Chicago Comedy Festival along with the Boston Comedy and Movie Festival. And in 2007 Rob was named Maxim Magazine’s “Real Man of Comedy”.
Don’t let the "Little" name fool you. Little is BIG! "Yeah, I’m big, and all my relatives are too. Heck, we just got our family portrait done by aerial photography. And there are only three of us." The truth is, Rob is big in more ways than one. With a grin on his face, a gleam in his eye, and a passion for comedy that is larger than life, he’s the biggest thing to happen to comedy in a long, long time.

Rob Little's Interests
Music
I am a HUGE ROCK fan!
I am one of those guys that can name the Song and the Band before you can name either. Well most of the time!
I love 70's and 80's music!
Almost all ROCK!
And a little country...
I hate gay rock though. Like, I am sorry but Depeche Mode and all the bands that sing gay like them from the 80's to now and are either "goth" or "Emo" are not my style. Just because you are apathetic and want to stab yourself and have butt sex with your depressed friends doesn't mean you should pollute the airwaves with it.
Boy I hope that doesn't come off to harsh...
Movies
I am a big movie fan even though once I watch it I rarely remember lines from movies like all my buddies do!
I love the Harry Potter movies and all movies in that genre!
I love the Matrix movies and all the movies in that genre!
I love most comedies unless "1 Note" Ben Stiller is involved. Come on brother you can do better than that down and out guy that we have to feel sorry for everytime can't you?
For the guys
I love Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Jim Carey, John C. Reilly, Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat), Chris Farley, Jack Black, Kyle Gass, Steve Carell, Alec Baldwin, Christopher Walken, Sam Elliot, Kevin James
For the girls
I love BLONDES WITH DARK RIMMED GLASSES!!! Rachael Harris (HUGE crush on her), Kristin Chenoweth (HUGE crush on her too), Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers), Alyson Hannigan (American Pie), Tina Fey. I am sure there are more but can't think right now.
I will NOT watch anything with Hugh Grant!!!
Television
I really don't watch that much TV but when I do I love:
Family Guy
Simpsons

All the CSI's
All the Law and Orders

I don't care for the printed word. Only the spoken one.
Heroes
My MOM
Oh and
"The Greatest American Hero"
Look at what’s happened to me,
I can’t believe it myself.
Suddenly I’m up on top of the world,
It should’ve been somebody else.
Believe it or not, I’m walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it’s just me.
It’s like a light of a new day,
It came from out of the blue.
Breaking me out of the spell I was in,
Making all of my wishes come true.
Believe it or not, I’m walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be? Believe it or not it’s just me.
