Bob Stromberg delights audiences of all ages with his unique personal style of speaking, storytelling, and humor. His presentation is clean, casual, characterized by humility, and a healthy blend of knee-slapping comedy and encouragement.
In a word, Bob’s remarkable gift is his ability to interact with an audience, develop a warm rapport, gather people together, and facilitate surprising laughter with an arsenal of gifts including physical comedy, a non threatening touch of audience participation and yes…even hand shadows, which the London Metro described as “stunning”.Add to this hilarious, tender and thought-provoking stories from his own experience and audiences leave amazed and different than when they came.
Several surprises stand out in his long career. In 1995 he co-authored the hit play “Triple Espresso, (a highly caffeinated comedy)”. From its start in Minneapolis, Triple Espresso, described by the Los Angeles Times as “a triple jolt of inspired craziness”has been seen by over two million people in eighty cities from Seattle to London and, among many other honors, become the longest running stage production in the history of San Diego. In his role, the Chicago Sun Times described Bob as “a mesmerizing physical comedian”.
Bob followed that with his solo show That Wonder Boy, which Culture Buzz described as “One of the most substantive comical one-man shows ever conjured.” The show opened in several cities on its way to winning the three top awards, Off Broadway at United Solo Theatre Festival in New York City. That’s the largest solo theater festival in the world with over 700 shows applying and 150 chosen each year. That Wonder Boy returned to NYC four years later recognized as one of the top shows in the prestigious festival’s first decade.
Bob lives in Minnesota with his wife Judy, occasionally still performs his two theater shows, and travels extensively as a featured comedian.
For over twenty years Bob and Judy Stromberg have supported the work of Compassion International and when given the opportunity Bob often presents Compassion as part of his presentations. Year after year Compassion International is listed as one of the very best charitable organizations in the world for their work and integrity. Please take a moment to check out this great ministry and consider sponsoring a child today. You really can save a life by lifting a child out of poverty and giving hope where none exists. Honestly, with so little you can do so much.
In Bob’s words: Nearly twenty thousand children will die this very day in the third world. The saddest part is that they will die from preventable causes. Twenty thousand is a frightfully large number. In fact, it is so large that it makes me feel as if there is nothing I can do. But the truth is, though I can’t save the world, I can save a few children.
Judy and I have been so blessed to sponsor kids through Compassion International. We know that for only a little more than a dollar a day, our sponsored kids are given the food they need to be healthy. When they’re sick they’re given medicines that would be unavailable to them without our very small sacrifice. They are given clean clothes they can wear with dignity. They are given the opportunity to attend school. And most importantly they are given a place to go everyday where they are loved in the name of Jesus and valued as the precious children they really are. For so little they are given the one thing they need most, the one thing none of us can live without. They are given hope.
Needy Children are waiting for you. Sponsor one today. Search by birthday, age, gender, country and more. You’ll be glad you did. Thanks.
