37 the Podcast

Our guest today is one of the funniest performers in America and his recent success off-Broadway proved that. “That Wonder Boy” starring Bob Stromberg and directed by Risa Brainin dominated United Solo Theatre Festival in New York by winning Best One-Man Show, Best Direction and the coveted Audience Favorite awards.  These were among the top six awards presented and we were the only show to win three.

Bob Stromberg has been delighting audiences all across America. He co-authored and starred in the megahit theatrical phenomenon, Triple Espresso (a Highly Caffeinated Comedy) breaking box office records worldwide. The Los Angeles Times described it as “…a triple jolt of inspired craziness”. And The Chicago Sun Times called Bob “Mesmerizing!” Of his rousing standing ovation performance on America’s Got Talent, Howard Stern said, “You wowed us!” Howie Mandell said, “I liked your character! I liked your voice! I like you!”
