It’s been more than five years since the iconic comic-actor Sinbad has done a stand-up show due to a severe stroke … but that’s all going to change tonight.

Sinbad just posted a message to Instagram … and as you can see, he’s ready to make his big comeback — and obviously has plenty he wants to talk about.

Sinbad says his daughter and fellow comic Paige Adkins will join him … along with his longtime opener Chase Anthony, at The Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena. And he makes it clear … “This is just the beginning.”

Obviously, this is a huge deal for the beloved funnyman … Sinbad suffered from a stroke in October 2020 — which his family later said was caused by a blood clot that traveled from the heart to the brain.

Along with his video message … Sinbad wrote in the post’s caption … “Some moments you don’t rush … you just wait until they’re ready.”
