November 30, 2008

On 20 November 2008 seven members of the Branson Critic staff joined the audience of the Bob Nelson Comedy Show.  We made sure we were there in our seats early to catch the pre-show antics of “Grandpa.”  When Grandpa was done helping Bob with his pre-show managerial tasks he slipped behind the curtain.  At this point Chad Ray of Branson Critic was introduced to the audience and a hand holding a microphone came out from behind the curtain.  Chad went up on stage and took the microphone to explain Branson Critic was there.  Bob Nelson then came out and joined Chad as he explained to the audience what Branson Critic was and how the award nominations and selections were accomplished.  Chad then read some excerpts of fan and editor comments supporting Bob’s show for the Editors’ Choice Best Specialty Show Award:

“When I heard that Bob Nelson was coming to Branson, I was excited.  ‘I love stand up comedy……… and one thing that Branson doesn't have a lot of is a full show of comedy.....’  I had seen (Bob) on HBO and Showtime years ago and always enjoyed his comedy skits that he performed.

“Bob was sick the first day I saw him…….he still put on a great show.  He apologized that he was not at his best but everybody thought he was great.  I went back close to the end of the season last year and he was “in top form.”  Bob was so funny that our faces hurt when we left.”   Keith Bradley, Arkansas

“Remember the days when you could enjoy a good stand up comic and then be disappointed when his time was cut short?  In the last several years I’ve tried to enjoy stand up comedians but too many think the use of four letter words make their act funnier.   Nothing could be further from the truth.  What I do enjoy is good-clean-laugh-out-loud comedy and that’s what we have right here in Branson.

“After being featured on late night TV, Las Vegas, movies, comedy clubs, and his own HBO specials, etc., nationally known Emmy award winner, Bob Nelson, brought his kind of comedy to Branson.  In Bob Nelson’s show you get non-stop comedy for 70 - 75 minutes.  (Bob said he wrote this one!)

“When I took my son and his family to this show, they were nearly rolling on the floor laughing before the show ever started.  If you’re interested in a fun place to go where you will get non-stop laughter, you really should see the Bob Nelson Comedy Show.”  Bob Cort, Editor

Another Editor Quote: 

“This show is clean, side-splitting comedy for every member of the family.  There is nothing else like it in Branson.  Bob, and the numerous characters of his creation, capture your full attention for the entire show, starting before the curtain opens.  Where else can you watch the creator of, Verbamime?”   Velva and Bob Cort, Editors
