Chicago based comedian has been obsessed with comedy ever since he was young, today his is working hard to make those dreams come true. His life as a comedian started here in Kalamazoo while he attended college at WMU. His comedy Journey has seen his work featured on NBC Comedy, Netflix is a Joke, Just for Laughs and The New Yorker.

Originally from Cleveland, Ohio. He has earned degrees. He has served in multiple military branches. Walking his righteous path, he bumped his head a few times. But damn it. He brushes his teeth like a TRUE American!!!

Hosted By Bob Fredericks

Originally the host of Standup or Shut up at the Lower Level Bob has worked with many world class comedians and top clubs throughout the Midwest. Organizing and producing shows at Shakespeare's since 2012 Bob is so very excited to bring comedy back to the Lower Level post apocalypse. Now a Single Dad, Bob relates to his audience with an absurdity in his observations that are off the wall, self deprecating and endearing. He loves to tell stories and make people laugh. During the pandemic he took on content creation, growing an audience around the world. Now he is ready to bring world class comedy back to Kalamazoo once again!
