About Bob Slayer
I am Bob Slayer
I used to be a Jockey
Then I broke my Back
And got Fat
It was time to move on
I was an unemployed alcoholic… Who was saved by Rock & Roll
I toured with rock bands and accidentally became the first westerner to be crowned Karaoke Champion of Japan
Japanese Rock band Electric Eel Shock asked me to be their manager
And for the last seven years I have toured all over the world with them
I often stand up in front of people and do banter, games and stories
I have performed these funnies in UK, Edinburgh & Brighton Fringes, Ireland, Netherlands, The French Alps and Hong Kong
COMEDY HIGHLIGHT:
Sometime in 2007 I read the autobiography of the late great Malcolm Hardee, the godfather of Alternative comedy, I was fascinated by his wayward background prior to comedy. I thought I could have a go at that and so I did. A few of years later on October 1st 2009 at the Birthday of Up The Creek, I was asked by Martin Soan to get naked and join him in the Balloon Dance playing the part of his old mate Malcolm Hardee who had started the club 20 years previously. It was indeed an honour and the comedy equivalent of Markey Ramone ringing me up to come and sing like Joey… Knob Out!

PRESS QUOTES FOR BOB SLAYER:
“Bob Slayer marched all over the line that should not be crossed like a drunken Henry Rollins with tourettes…” Brighton Argus
“The Wild Man of Comedy, like Keith Moon” The Malcolm Hardee Awards
“Spontaneous, shocking and purile” Racing Post
“If you are clinically insane, and by that I mean that you wake up one morning and think that you are actually an onion, then go and see Bob Slayer live…” Jeremy Clarkson
““Bob Slayer doesn’t use a safety net. A man surely too large to have ever been a jockey, walked on stage with seemingly little idea of what he was going to do, fortunately for us a quick chat with the audience inspired a hilarious if somewhat shocking opening rant. The relentless pace of banter, games and off the cuff stories did not let up throughout the 50 minutes and unfettered by a rigid set he could have perhaps gone on for hours? But he suddenly announced that happy hour was about to start in Whistle Binkies up the road and we needed an ending. He asked a man in the front row to punch him in the face, but when the man stood up and towered 6 foot 6 inches he wisely changed his mind. Instead he picked out an even larger man (apparently 22 stone) and attempted to lift him. When that failed Bob Slayer picked his new giant friend up off the floor and rode him around the room to much cheers and happiness. Seeing Bob Slayer is like watching the Sex Pistols only without the guitars and drinking with him afterwards is a full on after party that confirms there is no off switch for his wonderful madness.” The Student
