Rob Bartlett. That's the description. What more does anyone need? He's done it all! Performing in an improv group with Eddie Murphy, touring all over the country doing stand-up, starring on Broadway with Daniel Radcliffe, Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick, and his own one man show, and working on radio doing impressions on Imus, and acting in literally every show on television...I'm winded just writing this. I don't know that I would've gotten the opportunity to meet him had it not been for the pandemic on two virtual charity shows we wound up spending an incredible amount of time on together. There aren't many positive during this pandemic but that's one of them for me. Please enjoy this chat with a great man and good friend.
Thank you so much for listening. If you can please remember to like, subscribe, and review the podcast to help keep us going!
