PERFORMANCE DAIRY

I perform as an invited entertainer at many clubs, festivals and schools in many counties. But here are a few selected recent and future public performances . . .

 *********************************************************

But first, here are my current entertainments/talks:

CAN I HELP YOU? I’M A PARAMEDIC

 

(New talk from 2009)

Sharing the lighter side of working nearly 20-years on the ambulance front line.

 

 

'LAUGHTER IN THE VILLAGE'

One-Man Shows, Spring & Harvest Suppers

 

My most popular talk: Hilarious stories of village and rural life with witty comments on modern living.

(This talk is in its tenth year of maturity – and has travelled the length and breadth of the country)

 

‘That’s Life!’

Short listed for Esther Rantzen’s That’s Life! Bob entertains with his own comical take on the pleasures, stresses and strains of modern living.

 

‘British Comedy Greats’

An affectionate laughter-packed stroll down British Comedy’s Memory Lane. Humorous banter – audio clips – and prizes too!
