ABOUT

What's up everyone. I'm Shawn!

I’m originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, a city that shaped much of who I am and how I see the world. After Hurricane Katrina, my family and I relocated to Cleveland, Tennessee, where I began adapting to a new environment while carrying my New Orleans roots with me. In May 2021, I moved to the Dallas, Texas area, where I now live with my wife and our three dogs. Since making Dallas home, I’ve pursued creative outlets that have become important parts of my life. I began performing comedy, using humor and personal experiences to connect with people, and I also completed my first book, Robert After Bob, which will be available for purchase this October. These experiences have helped me grow both personally and creatively, and I’m excited to continue building on them.

Robert After Bob

A comedian's honest look at the moments that made him who he is.

Part memoir, part comedy journey in book form — Shawn Brooks' debut book is the kind of read you finish in one sitting and immediately want to hand to someone you love. Funny, honest, and surprisingly moving.
