Friday's Featured Comic: Bob Bledsoe



Bob Bledsoe is not just a stand-up comedian and actor who has been seen on The WB's "Pepper Dennis", Comedy Central's "Trigger Happy TV" and CBS's "Citizen Baines," but he's also my friend. Well, at least on Myspace he is.

When Bob moved to LA three years ago, he immediately went to work on learning how to “work the system.” It wasn’t long before Bob was earning his living as an actor/writer in Hollywood.

He is a series regular on the hit BET hidden camera show, “Socially Offensive Behavior,” and has had guest star roles on numerous TV shows including: Disney’s “Hannah Montana” and TBS’s “The Bill Engval Show.” Bob is on the “short list” of sketch players at “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and also works regularly in commercials.

He has worked with numerous casting directors and has sat through many casting sessions, wearing the “casting director” hat on his own projects. Bob Bledsoe knows the “do’s and don’ts” of auditioning.


When I first saw Bledsoe perform live, he was gut wrenchingly hilarious. I know that sounds like a movie trailer quote but it's true. His timing was dead on, his stage persona was refined, even the pauses in between the deliveries seemed brilliant.
