Sinbad has kept audiences laughing for three decades in television, notable 1990s films and standup. He starred in his own television show, “The Sinbad Show,” and has made appearances on other programs such as “Saturday Night Live” and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” receiving critical acclaim for his guest spot. Sinbad made his film debut in Necessary Roughness and also had leading roles in Jingle All the Way, Houseguest and First Kid. He was ranked by Comedy Central as one of the top 100 stand-up comedians of all time and has built a loyal following with his knack for telling stories onstage. The comedian claims to make story and joke-telling “profound but not profane” and credits his father, a preacher, with his desire to keep his comedy clean.

The UCPAC Box Office, located at 1601 Irving St. in Rahway, is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is also open late on Thursdays until 8 p.m.
