 ir funny bones. And tickle them\, he does. He holds up a mirror to each of

 , Las Vegas and Atlantic City are forever expanding his list of faithful f
 ollowers\, he has also appeared in five feature films and numerous televis
 ion shows.\n\nComedy was Collins' destiny. He was named after his father's
  favorite comedian\, Bob Hope. 'I've never seen Bob Hope perform but when 
 I was appearing in Philadelphia for the first time\, a newspaper reporter 
 from New York City caught my act and liked it so much he put me on the ent
 ire cover of the paper's weekend section. Lost in the cover's corner was a
  tiny picture of Bob Hope. While I was visiting with friends at the club\,
  a black limousine pulled up and the driver handed me a manila envelope. T
 here was a signed photo of Bob Hope inside along with a handwritten note\n
 saying 'How dare you get top billing on a weekend' with a happy face drawn
  at the bottom.&rdquo\;\n\nCharisma\, style and flair -- Bobby has it all.
  He's a mesmerizing entertainer who's larger than life and you won't be ab
 le to take your eyes off him. It also doesn't hurt that Bobby is more eye 
 candy than Quasimodo.\n\nEven with live stage performances\, talk show app
 earances and a TV special in the works\, Bobby is a dedicated family man w
 ith a heart of gold.\n\n**Tickets on sale to MEMBERS on March 14\, 2011 an
