Bob Nelson @ Suppa's
Bob Nelson is the platinum standard when it comes to a professional comedy performer. There is no act available that can top the entertainment value Bob brings to a venue - from the most intimate comedy club to the grandest theater stage. His popular show is a combination of smart yet family friendly material, exceptional comic acting ability and consummate professionalism that is unmatched in today's entertainment marketplace.
Watching a Bob Nelson live performance is like watching several different types of top comedians all rolled up into one. Characters like the lovable nerd Eppy Epperman, punchy boxer Jiffy Jeff and chicken rancher Wilby Stuckinson are as funny and memorable as any you will see in comedy today. Bob's football routine is a recognized comedy classic and "Morning", his tale of a farmer and a duck, is one of the finest works of one man showmanship to grace the modern stage. If all that were not enough, Bob's ability to relay personal stories and observations about everyday life put him in the same league as the best of today's stand-up comics. His shows are filled with spontaneity, zaniness and singular moments that will astound you. Throughout his career Bob Nelson has been hailed as one of the most gifted funny people on the planet.
A contemporary of Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno, Mr. Nelson's extraordinary talents have been refined by a career that has included multiple appearances on the Merv Griffin Show, the Tonight Show and David Letterman. Bob has performed live thousands of times at hundreds of comedy clubs, colleges and other exciting live venues including the Las Vegas strip, Radio City Music Hall and on NYC's Broadway. He has also had the great honor to perform at the Ford Theater in Washington D.C. for president Ronald Reagan.
Bob Nelson was Rodney Dangerfield's opening act for eight of the most popular years of Mr. Dangerfield's career. Bob was prominently featured in two of Rodney's enormously popular HBO stand up comedy showcases, alongside other comedy phenoms like Rosanne Barr and Sam Kineson. That led to two HBO specials starring Bob Nelson, including the ground breaking classic Nelson Schmelson.
Bob is an Emmy Award winner who's acting career began when fellow Massapequa, Long Island High School student Alec Baldwin was embarrassed by the revealing tights required for a production of Romeo and Juliet. Bob stepped in as Alec's understudy (and into those tights) with hilarious results. Bob then became one of the founders of the innovative improv group Identical Triplets, who's members included Rosie O'Donnell and future superstar Eddie Murphy. Mr. Nelson has since had supporting roles in Nora Ephram's (Julie & Julia, When Harry Met Sally...) directorial film debut This Is My Life with Julie (Marge Simpson) Kavner and Ivan Reitman's (Ghostbusters, Twins) box office smash Kindergarten Cop with Arnold (the Governator) Schwarzenegger. Bob also starred in the Zucker Brother's (Airplane, Naked Gun) Marx Brother's take off Brain Donors.
Mr. Nelson is a devoted family man who currently lives with his wife and son in the live performance capital of the world, Branson Missouri.
