SUMMARY:Bobby Collins
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: Bobby Collins=0D=0AEvent Url: http://www.artsboston.org/event/detail/50317=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2009-09-26=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2009-09-26=0D=0A=0D=0AThe first thing a fly on the wall at a Bobby Collins show would notice is that half the audience is reciting parts of Bobby's act from memory.  Fans for years, these folks have seen him on TV and live before.  Many of the 'newbies' are there because they've heard him on satellite radio or have been exposed to the tremendous word of mouth that sells out his shows or have been given his CDs by a member of his enthusiastic fan base.  They are longing to see him in person and in action, and action is what they get.  Bobby is a storyteller.  His heartfult humor engages audiences with a hilarious blend of characterizations and spot on observations to which everyone can relate.  Unlike many comedians, who reply solely upon the clever user of words and ideas to engage an audience, from the moment Bobby hits the stage he lassoes the crowd and pulls them ever closer to him while they cry from laughter.  Even  the hardcore 'I usually don't laugh at comedian' types, cannot help but surrender to his energy and visual antics targeted directly at tickling their funny bones.  It also doesn't hurt that Bobby is more eye candy than Quasimoto.  Bobby holds up a mirror to each of us and helps us not to take ourselves so seriously.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:8pm
