All you need to know about Tim Robinson’s life

Tim Robinson was born on May 23, 1981 in Detroit, Michigan, as noted in his IMDb profile. He is an actor and a comedian known for his works in I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson (2019), Friendship (2024) and Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022).

Robinson and his wife, Heather Robinson, have been married for 19 years. According to his Instagram post shared on his anniversary on September 2016, he wrote:

“Married 10 years today to the best human I know!”

The post featured the comedian along with his wife, as they held beer bottles in their hands and smiled widely at the camera.

Unlike her husband, Tim Robinson, Heather chose a part outside the entertainment industry. She attended Oakland University. After graduating in 2005, she internet for Chrysler as an electrical engineer. Once her internship was completed, she was hired by the automobile company on a full-time basis.

Although Heather stays out of the limelight, she has been mentioned a couple of times by Tim Robinson in his interviews. While speaking to The New Yorker in 2021, he recalled an incident when he was working on Saturday Night Live (SNL). He told the outlet that he was given tickets to see a Disney show at Madison Square Garden.

He said:

“And I got sick that morning, and so I told my wife, Heather, 'Just go. Take the kids.”

However, they were unfortunately not allowed to enter. Robinson added:

“And she showed up and they said, “Well, if the person from ‘S.N.L.’ ’s not here . . . then you’re not allowed to come in. They turned my wife away. My kids had to leave, and they’re crying. And then the car was gone, too, so they had to hail a cab to get back home. They turned away my crying kids.”

In one of his Instagram posts, Tim Robinson referred to his wife as a “greatest human I know!” On their ninth anniversary in September 2015, he shared an appreciation post for his wife, where he wrote:

“She has the most good qualities in anyone I have ever met. Happy anniversary. 9 years homey!”

It is not clear how Tim Robinson met his wife, but she has been with him when he first started to take his lessons for comedy lessons. During an interview with Thrasher in 2023, Robinson shared how his mother took him and his wife, who was his girlfriend at that time, to see Second City. He said that he was “blown away” and started to take classes in Detroit.

Robinson shares a deep bond with his best friend, Sam Richardson. They met at Second City Detroit, where Tim was his improv teacher. After spending a few years in Detroit, they grew close and started doing shows together.
