It all began in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada on July 6th, 1977. I was born in a Manger under a huge star; there was a woman, some cattle I think, and a couple of weird wise guys... I don't recall much, I was just a mere baby.
To this day, I still love the town of Sudbury and can say that I would love to live there again one day! (Garage parties, skidooing in the backyards and girls with high bangs/tight jeans). You may not know this but there is a sh*t load of Rock in Sudbury and rumors have it that it was the real location of the first moon landing!?!? I know it was all the Buzz for a while...get it get it!?
Luckily, I was the youngest of 3 children, and unluckily both older siblings are of the female (read: Crazy) gender. My Dad always joked that he has three kids, one of each!! (As you can see, I get my incredibly funny gene from my Dad). They abused me like good sisters do (curling irons, makeup and all), and I will love them forever for it. When I was 13 years old, we all packed up the trailer and moved to Ottawa to start a new chapter in our lives. I was a perfect age for a fat kid to move into a new school.....That was really fun!!
After lacking in certain ‘skills’ in School throughout my life (aka, learning, listening, thinking), going to medical school to become a Doctor was out of the question. So, a career in Sales seemed like the right choice for me since talking is my forte and I was lucky enough to be big enough to intimidate people into buying, when need be (did I mention I’m part Italian?). Great Technique, I'd suggest everyone putting on weight if your sales are slow. After College, I sold cars and then memberships for Road Service. I quickly realized that while I loved Cars, I hated working…
Being kind of a party animal, I opened the first “.com” in my city for the entertainment industry, including Bars and Pubs. It was going great, until an unfortunate Wet T-shirt contest issue. Trust me, I would never put “unfortunate” in front of “wet t-shirt” normally, but it was and my company was shut down! …So Right Back to Sales Jobs For Bobby. I have sold everything from advertising, cell phone products and High Tech online jibber jabber. The only thing in common (besides being ‘sales jobs’) was how much I HATED them all. Over the years, I realized that I’m just not a very good office person. Blame it on a lack of hygiene, a lack of when to shut up, and/or a lack of caring!
After turning 31 yrs young, I had an epiphany!!! A change was badly needed. And that, folks, bring us to the one and only exciting Project x50.14. This is a very special, above top secret mission of sorts...nah, not even close.
Basically I've sold my house, quit my job and started a career in Comedy (my true skill and calling,… well as I’d like to think!). Not sure exactly which avenue I'll take, but I know that I'm good with any avenue that will take me...Sketch Comedy, Writing, and Stand up are all things I have always aspired to do, and now it’s time. I'm really looking forward to see what happens and really looking forward to living in Hollywood. I'm sure they can use another funny Fat guy, and I am willing to sweat it out for them, literally. I'm actually sweating while writing this, weird!
Cheers
