Bob Howard is an attorney who took a standup comedy class in 1993 at the tender age of 42. The assignment was to write a five minute comedy routine to perform at graduation. He always finishes his assignments and that has led to him performing at venues big and small in the Southwest. He won the 2001 Funniest Person in the Valley contest in Phoenix in 2001 and the John O’Connor Humor award in 2013.
He has shared the stage with Wanda Sykes, Nate Bargatze and numerous others. He focuses on the lighter side of being an attorney, growing old and the ups and downs of trying to be a stand up comedian. He often incorporates his guitar into the act with observations about living in the Grand Canyon state.
At age 72, he is just hitting his stride in a career that shows it’s never too late to be funny.
