Fat Albert (1973) is the 15th comedy album by Bill Cosby. It was recorded at Harrah's Hotel in Reno, Nevada.
After six years of recalling memories of his childhood friend "Fat Albert" Robertson in his stand-up routines, this would be the final album in which Fat Albert is mentioned.
Two tracks on the album were previously released (and edited differently) on When I Was a Kid: "Fat Albert Got a Hernia" (as "My Hernia") and "My Brother, Russell."
Unlike some of his other albums, the album had more kid-friendly humor on it.
