Bob Bledsoe aka Manis O'Tool
Bob Bledsoe is relatively new to the pirate fest scene and has a really funny act called Manis O’Tool and His Imperial Tibetan Yak.

In our talk we find out why he decided to get into the Ren Faire/Pirate scene and how he developed an act for Manis. And we have some comedian nerd-out time discussing the differences between fest audiences and what we’re used to in comedy clubs.

Check out some of Bob’s regular standup act…
