Click below for a sampling of Bob Stromberg's Comedic videos. They are very often hilarious, occasionally moving, sometimes provocative and, of course, all clean. This sampling changes regularly so you?ll always see not only professionally shot and edited pieces but also those when someone pressed ?rec video? and held a cell phone in the air. The videos were recorded at family performances, educational gatherings, corporate business meetings, Christian churches and conferences, in studios, on television shows and anywhere else that Bob does his work. Please feel free to pass the links along. Enjoy!
Not For Sale Commercial
In 2008 Bob was honored to use his hand shadow artistry in support of Not For Sale. Not for Sale is a Campaign of students, artists, entrepreneurs, people of faith, athletes, law enforcement officers, politicians, social workers, skilled professionals, and all justice seekers united to fight the global slave trade and end human trafficking.
The Campaign aims to recruit, educate, and mobilize an international grassroots social movement that effectively combats human trafficking and slavery through "Smart Activism". It deploys innovative solutions for every individual to re-abolish slavery -- in their own backyards and across the globe.
Not For Sale believes that everyone has a skill to contribute that can free an individual living in bondage, and together we can stop human trafficking and end slavery in our lifetime.
This PSA was the recipient of the distinguished Chloe Award?the highest honor in the world of advertising.
Cousin Helen
In this short clip, shot at Thrive 2007, Bob uses his improvisational skills to introduce the keynote speaker Helen Musick. In the process he created a character that returned to the stage at Thrive 2008 and 2009. Bob thinks that getting laughs from sticking fake teeth in his mouth might be a bit too easy but? don?t tell that to this audience.
Comedy Coat
The small town of Shipshewana, Indiana plays host to some big laughs as Bob Stromberg and Ken Davis headline two sold out nights at the Blue Gate Theater. And none of the laughs were bigger than those found inside The Comedy Coat. Bob loves this clip if only to hear Ken ?losing it? on stage.
Bob Does the Head Thing
It?s funny how long some comedy bits last. Bob has been performing his ?head thing? for over thirty years. He learned the skill called ?a head isolation? at Celebration Mime Theater where he and his fellow students practiced it as an exercise. He then created a bit of his own never imagining that he would be performing it on stage decades later. But here it is and it?s funny. This was performed at Thrive in 2008.
Mr. Wonder Boy
This is the introductory video that opens Bob?s one-man theatrical production Mr. Wonderboy. It?s unlike anything else he does though some will recognize the teeth originally used in the Cousin Helen clip. Bob wanted to introduce an absurd super hero like story that was very funny and went for big audience laughter, but also had an honesty and a sweetness. Michael Pearce Donley helps Bob pull it off with his artful musical score. Bob is directed here by Risa Brainin. The video was shot outside Sacramento, CA and edited by Nancy Heath.
Shadow Puppets On The Graham Norton Show
Bob got the call from his agent and wasn?t sure if he wanted to say yes. In Bob?s words: ?I?d lived in London for a couple months when Triple Espresso was playing in The West End. So I knew Graham?s show. He?s a talented guy but his style of humor is about as far from my clean comedy as you can get. Still? I thought maybe I could shine some light.? So he did and it was a great experience that led to many other opportunities. This video has been taken down a few times but keeps reappearing and has hit six digits several times on You Tube.
