Fluff-free good parts only
Pickpocket comedy for a full hour (shorter if requested)—no boring magic filler.
We incorporate a few minutes of our own video of real thieves at work in the streets. We’re sure you can’t imagine how this fits into a comedy show, but trust us—it’s a highlight. People get a little lesson in how to avoid becoming a victim; then we re-enact a scene from the video—with a comedy twist. People love it.
Keynote / Breakout
As a speaker and educator, Bob includes humor, video, and live demonstrations. His topics in the travel and security fields are fascinating, pertinent, and useful for anyone who travels, even just across town. These presentations are usually used in a morning or noon session, often the day after we’ve presented our comedy show, to the same audience. The two presentations can be combined into one mix of comedy and info.
