Bob Nelson
The Clay Cooper Theatre
2215 W. Hwy 76
If you like to laugh, this guy is a must see while you're in Branson. Bob Nelson is a
hit with audiences of all ages! The show is filled with his classic comedy routines and some great new ones. Bob's
crazy cast of characters will keep you laughing throughout the entire show. Best of all, it's good clean comedy suitable
for the whole family!
You will laugh till it hurts! Bob Nelson performed his first "stand-up" routine on June 14, 1978.
From that day on, he has performed at hundreds of comedy clubs, colleges, corporate events, casinos, theaters, and
charity fundraisers.
He has performed in such well-known places as Radio City Music Hall, Las Vegas, The Ford Theater
(for President Ronald Reagan), Carnegie Hall and on Broadway!
His television credits range from "The Merv Griffin Show"
to "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson"... where
Mr. Carson remarked after Bob's first appearance,
"You won't laugh
any harder in five or six minutes, then you will at that guy... Bob Nelson!" Bob has many other television credits
including an Emmy Award, that he received for a children's show which aired in Philadelphia.
Rodney Dangerfield jump
started Bob's cable television career by putting him in two of his own HBO specials.
"The Ninth Annual Young Comedians
Special", where Bob presented his classic football piece, and "It ain't Easy Bein' Me", where he introduced us to one
of his most popular characters... Jiffy Jeff! Bob went on to do two more HBO specials, this time they would be solo
performances, the half hour "One Night Stand" and then his innovative one hour special
"Nelson Schmelson".
Bob has even
showed up on the silver screen in Ivan Reitman's "Kindergarten Cop" with
Arnold Schwartzenagger, "This is My Life" the
Nora Ephron film starring the lovable Julie Kavner, and we can't forget Dennis Dugan's
"Brain Donors" with the great
John Turturro, the incredible Mel Smith, and of course...Bob Nelson!
Come see Bob and his list of zany, rubber-faced
characters in Branson at the Clay Cooper Theatre. Bob gets his laughs with silliness (not vulgarity), so don't hesitate
to bring the whole family!
