Convention News: Comedian Bob Marley...he's back @ NELMA and funnier than ever!2009-01-02
 

Let’s face it…by April we’re all gonna need a really good laugh and Comedian Bob Marley is the perfect one to provide some lightheartedness.  As he celebrates 15 years as a stand-up comic, Bob is one of the hottest and most sought-after comedians in the country and he’ll be joining us at the 2009 NELMA Annual Convention in Boston.

Bob has been featured in his own special on Comedy Central, and is one of the few comics to do the complete late- night TV circuit: “The Late Show” with David Letterman, “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno, “Late Night” with Conan O’Brien and “The Late Late Show” with Craig Ferguson and Craig Kilborn.
 
Marley, a Maine native and University of Maine at Farmington graduate, uses biographical and observational material for his high-energy routines. He began his career in his hometown of Portland, and then moved to Boston to gain experience in a city known for spawning comedy all-stars.
 
A regular at the Aspen and Montreal comedy festivals, Marley was named one of Variety’s “10 Comics to Watch,”.  Marley has also appeared in several films, including the cult favorite, “Boondock Saints.” The peripatetic Marley works nonstop throughout the country, in such cities as Los Angles, Las Vegas, Washington, D.C., Boston, New York and Denver.
 
After living in Los Angles for several years, he, his wife and three children have returned to Maine to live.
