Actor, comic and musician Craig Robinson (“The Office,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Hot Tub Time Machine”) is prematurely about his ultimate L.A. Sunday. “It’s spent at home chilling,” he mentioned. “My day is a blank canvas.”
The megastar of “Killing It,” a two-season sitcom that unearths him enjoying a python-wrangling fictionalized model of himself (all 18 episodes are recently streaming on Peacock), blames the need to chill at house on spending a quantity of era at the street.
That has much less to do with performing, he mentioned, and extra to do with the gigs he’s been enjoying along with his band the Nasty Scrumptious, together with turning up in his fatherland of Chicago utmost moment for the 312 Comedy Fest.
In Sunday Funday, L.A. community give us a play-by-play in their ultimate Sunday round the city. In finding concepts and inspiration on the place to pass, what to devour and easy methods to revel in moment at the weekends.
Robinson says what he actually enjoys doing in his downtime — live performance hopping — isn’t simply filled into a particular location or date of the month. Nonetheless, the longtime L.A. resident (he moved to SoCal from Chicago in 1999) did proportion Sunday-specific issues to do.

I’m going to go see Lionel Richie in the Bahamas next week — he’s performing in the Bahamas with Sheryl Crow and Nile Rodgers at a two-day festival. So yeah, concerts are my thing.”
When he’s no longer available in the market dancing at the ceiling to Richie — or making song of his personal — that is what Robinson’s painted-in deserted canvas of a Sunday would possibly appear to be.
