Bob Nelson: Standup Comedian

As he was working his way through college, Bob Nelson was supposed to call a client about a problem with a telephone book ad he was working on. As a joke, Bob was to make the call as one of his many wacky characters he pretends to be. As all of Bob's co-workers sat around a speaker phone in the office, the party at the other end of the line answered. Bob began his crazy dialogue. The person at the other end had no idea what Bob was talking about but laughed and egged him on. It turned out that it was the wrong telephone number. Coincidentally, it happened to be a man who was just opening up a new comedy club in Bob's hometown of Massapequa, Long Island. Bob was invited to audition at the new club's opening night and, in the process, launched a new career. Bob did not grow up with the desire to be in show business. He did, however, enjoy making people laugh. It had always been part of his personality. He would sometimes spend hours setting up a situation that he could manipulate into a comic routine. It was always a requirement by his own standards to create from a perspective of originality. Bob's inner being had always been drawn to any and all performance arts. So much so, that while being a communications major at Nassau Community College, all he had to do was walk past the theatre department to change his major to theatre.
