WARNING: NOT FOR THE EASILY OFFENDED!!!
A true "comic's comic," Bobby Slayton, often referred to as "The Pitbull of Comedy," has been performing his own intense style of stand-up comedy for over 20 years, becoming one of the best known, respected, and energetic comics working today.
Audiences around the country may recognize Bobby from his scene-stealing roles in movies such as Get Shorty, Ed Wood, Bandits and Dreamgirls. Bobby just recently completed filming the latest untitled Woody Allen film slated for release in the summer 2017. He's been seen on dozens of television shows including The Tonight Show, Politically Incorrect and in Woody Allen's new Amazon TV project, Crisis in Six Scenes. Bobby's many appearances on HBO have included Comic Relief and his own stand-up special. He was a series regular on the HBO series Mind of a Married Man, and played 'Joey Bishop' opposite Ray Liotta and Joe Mantegna in the critically acclaimed film The Rat Pack.
Slayton's distinctive gravelly voice has often been heard on animated shows like Glenn Martin DDS and Family Guy, as well as many popular radio shows across the country including Howard Stern, Kevin & Bean, and Tom Leykis. Acclaimed as "Armed and Dangerous" by the NY Daily News and voted the "Funniest Male Stand-up Comic of the Year" by the American Comedy Awards, his show is worth a special trip.
