Overview
- Sinbad, 69, took the stage at Pasadena’s Ice House on Wednesday in his first stand-up set since his 2020 stroke, with a second show set for May 10.
- He announced the comeback in an Instagram video, thanked fans for their prayers, and said these club dates are the start of a broader return.
- His daughter, Paige, opened the show in their first time performing together, a milestone after she said many clubs lacked wheelchair access during his recovery.
- He suffered an ischemic stroke in October 2020 caused by a blood clot traveling from his heart to his brain, followed by surgeries and long courses of physical, occupational, and speech therapy.
- He recently resumed acting with a role in Tyler Perry’s thriller Straw, and the new sets could pave the way for more appearances as his recovery continues.
