BOB JONES LIVE - ON - LINE

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 . . .

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

Performances/Talks: One

(This has proved very popular and has travelled the length and breadth of the country)

* 'LAUGHTER IN THE VILLAGE'

One-Man Shows, Spring & Harvest Suppers

Bob Jones keeps audiences enthralled with his original humour. It's a show packed with hilarious stories about villages and villagers all over the country, and thoughtful comments about life today. He also blends his own experiences as a suburban boy turned farm worker, dairy farmer, ambulance paramedic and family man with a touch of fantasy to provide a thoroughly memorable and uplifting entertainment. Anecdotal good-humour at its best: Bob crackles and sparkles with wit - and guarantees to raise the spirits!
