these are the contests for you. The best and bushiest beard or mustache,
the hairiest chest, the hairiest legs and ugliest Frontier Feet will
be judged by our panel of celebrity onlookers and prizes will be awarded.
After Glenner & Jerry have the crowd warmed up with their individual
comedy bits, our featured comedian Bob Zany, will take
over the stage.
 Bob
Zany, comedian bay-bee, is a cigar-smoking, audience-interactive crowd
favorite. Zany started his career where most performers want to end
up --on national television in 1977. At the tender age of fifteen, the
native Southern Californian appeared on the infamous Gong Show
. Halfway through his stand-up routine, which he read from a piece
of paper, he was pulled off the stage by a man dressed like a nun wielding
a net. Welcome to Show Biz, Bay-bee! Eleven years later, Zany made a
triumphant return to The Gong Show , this time as a celebrity
judge. Though the initial experience was painful, it marked the first
of over 100 appearances on national television.
In
1981, The Bob Zany Show was born . The shows sold consistently
sold out and after one show, Zany was approached by Frazier Smith, the
host of a top-rated radio show on KLOS/LA . His other accomplishments
include the creation of Bob Zany's Comedy Outlets ; a comedy
album "Hi Home, I'm Honey", a soon-to-be published diet scrapbook,
"Laugh at Fat, Bay-bee!", which chronicles his 175-lb weight
loss; numerous roles in feature films, including a starring role opposite
Linda Blair in Up Your Alley ; and the highlight of his career
to date, being hired by his idol, Steve Martin, to appear on George
Burns' Comedy Week .
Zany
continues to work in television and film, including recent guest-starring
roles on Roseanne and The Drew Carey Show , and headlines
at comedy clubs world-wide, with recent tours in England and Denmark .
He is married to comedienne/actress Erin O'Connor, and they live in Los
Angeles with their three dogs and three cats. For
mature audiences only – Ages 17 & Older.
