WHAT ABOUT BOB?

I'm a pumped man. I mean you gotta be pumped, ‘cause it’s a weird world out there and there’s a lot of weird stuff going on. So I’m pumped!
I grew up in Spokane Washington, and it was a great place to be raised. I had great parents that helped me focus on what my talents were and what I could do best; and it’s a good thing, because I was full of “Beans and Shenanigans”
I moved to Los Angeles 20 years ago and I have really enjoyed living here since, with many opportunities in music, stand-up comedy, acting and unemployment.
I majored in music in college and have enjoyed performing music, as well as stand-up comedy at many venues across the country, and so I have always loved combining both of these elements into my concerts that I present. It keeps me pumped.
I picked up the skill of ventriloquism as a kid and it has since become a part of my stand-up comedy routine, leading to many performance opportunities; not to mention that some people think that I'm just plain weird playing with dolls. Well, actually there not dolls, there called dummies, but they do all have their own unique personalities. That's not weird though, right?
So here I am now living back in my hometown of Spokane, having a great time pursuing what I do best. Even though I am still full of “Beans and Shenanigans” - but good Shenanigans.
