Bob Smiley Biography

A young, poor college student called Roberto Antonio Smiley signed up for a stand-up competition at his Student Union Building many moons ago, before the advent of Ritalin or the Internet. The cash reward was $500, which was roughly 5 months' rent for Smiley's "efficiency" closet at the time. Despite the fact that he had never performed on stage before and that the only chuckles he had previously received were due to his gigantic leprechaun ears, he went for the gold. When he came, his only opponent was an adult wearing a huge sombrero who had no act... thus he won the money and the soft hearts of his classmates. After that, the rest is history. Since that dreadful performance, Roberto has shortened his name to "Bob" and embarked on a caffeine-fueled tour bringing joy and laughter to the public. Smiley developed his skills as a merch-managing MC for bands like Newsboys, Third Day, and Mercy Me while he was a budding comedian. This exposure, along with the fact that Smiley's act used the term "booger" three times, resulted in a swarm of goatee-sporting youth leaders pleading with him to come to amuse their sugar-high child herds. He was obliged to match their frantic intensity and developed a machine gun comedic style as a result. Smiley is currently one of the most in-demand and entertaining clean comedians in the country, after sixteen years. And, no matter how many times his father questions his job's legitimacy as a professional choice, he adores it.
