 Robert Dubac strives to raise our collective humor bar by crystallizing the bigger picture with a wit and intellect that is fueled with ire and filled with charm. He is an innovative performer who is always redefining his roles from actor to comic to writer to director.
Performing came early and by the age of 14 he began pounding the pavement with a magic act that took him from his home city of Atlanta to gigs up and down the southeast coastline on weekends and during school vacations. But even then, Dubac's crafted theatrical interpretations of magic was a mere premonition of other works to come.
Dubac alternatively studied drama while performing a magic act that slowly evolved into a fine stand-up comedy routine. Oddly enough he was discovered by the rock n' roll world and toured with such acts as Kenny Loggins, Linda Rondstadt and Jimmy Buffet.
Finding himself right smack in the middle of the stand-up explosion of the seventies, he made the trek out west and successfully rode the comedy wave until it crashed in on itself in the mid-eighties.
It was then that Dubac returned to his dramatic roots when he was chosen to study with a select group of actors under the tutelage of the great Sanford Meisner. After completion he succeeded to work in films, sitcoms and even daytime television; his stand-up career taking a back seat. However, in an effort to avoid getting stuck in the “actor for hire” scenario he once again forged into new territory. In the early nineties he created his hit one man show THE MALE INTELLECT: AN OXYMORON? which has been touring worldwide ever since garnering envious reviews.
THE MALE INTELLECT evokes “90 anxiously crowd pleasing minutes - SF Chronicle”. It is “fold-up and fall-down funny – Cleveland Plain Dealer” and “the kind of indisputably riotous show that sets off regular explosions of laughter – Miami Herald”. “It is adeptly conceived, refreshingly and comically stated and Dubac has no trouble keeping it up for 90 minutes – Philadelphia Inquirer”. "Dubac's wit, writing and acting makes this a don't miss night at the theatre – Denver Post" as it “elicits big laughs from both sexes in waves of treble and bass – LA Times”. “Robert Dubac is talented, entertaining and very funny! – Boston Globe”. “Four stars!! – Denver Post and Toronto Star”.
In 2006 he launced the sequel to THE MALE INTELLECT: AN OXYMORON? Titled ROBERT DUBAC'S MALE INTELLECT: THE 2ND COMING! he tours the country with both shows while feverishly finishing the final installment of this solo trilogy, THE MALE INTELLECT: PISS AND MOAN. In his spare time he directed another solo show titled MAN 1, BANK 0 and is embarking on a ctollaborative performance piece with some like-minded satirists titled THE BARBARIANS OF TRUTH.
This genre - the solo performance – has enabled him to come full circle; focusing his writing, acting, directing and comedic talents in one arena.
If you like your satire served up with a clever intelligent edge you will become an instant fan. If you are tired of adolescent comedy generated by the mediocrity of television you will become an instant fan. If you want to hear a voice that speaks as though it originated from inside of your own frustrated head you will become an instant fan.
It's stand-up on steroids. Think your funny bone can handle it?

bio redux - for comedy clubs
Robert Dubac strives to raise our collective humor bar by crystallizing society's bigger picture with a wit and intellect that is filled with charm and fueled with ire. He makes you think. And if you are thinking - you will laugh. If you are not thinking - you will still laugh, you just won't know why.
He has garnered much success in the three ring circus of show biz as a writer, actor and comic. While his successful one man plays; THE MALE INTELLECT: AN OXYMORON? and THE MALE INTELLECT: THE 2ND COMING! continue to tour the world he continues to work on future projects; PISS AND MOAN and THE BARBARIANS OF TRUTH.
His rare appearance on the comedy club circuit is an experience not to be missed. Refusing to believe the comedy audience has been dumbed down he brings intelligence back to the art of stand-up. He preys on our most blatant hypocrisies armed only with the pulse of the truth. (Of course, it's his truth not yours.) So if you cower behind religion, politics, culture or the media - stay home and watch TV because your security blanket is about to be ripped to shreds and replaced with cold clever common sense.
Or as he puts it, "The comedy club is the last bastion of freedom of speech. Properly executed, humor is the only tonic for the dulling of America. Only in this smoke and boozed filled sanctuary can we slaughter our most sacred cows."
