Michael Finney has more sides to his life than a well-cut diamond. There is an authenticity to him that seems to disarm an audience instantly, causing everyone to feel as if a friend has just stepped on stage. One reason for the respect Finney gets may be the incredible amount of entertainment

Many years of performing in comedy clubs have been assimilated into creating an instinct for what's appropriate at every venue ... something his Audiences (& Clients) have learned they can depend on for fun for Everyone.
Bob Kubota's penchant for dry wit, lighthearted sarcasm and deciphering life's ironies has led him to the majority of the contiguous 48 states as well as Alaska and Hawaii.

In 1996 he became an international performer when he joined the United Service Organization (USO) and now tours regularly with the 'Comics On Duty' (Davis Entertainment) providing comic relief to American military troops stationed around the globe.
