Bob Baker
With his eclectic crew of wise-cracking ‘special guests,’ Dr. Bob is a warm and engaging performer delivering his unique brand of witty banter and wry observational humor that your audience will LOVE you for.
He is described as ‘outstanding,’ ‘hilarious,’ ‘a joy to work with,’‘America’s funniest gastroenterologist,’ and has won rave reviews from audiences across the country… from high-end corporate functions and conferences to fundraisers and exclusive private parties.
Dr. Bob also studied magic with the legendary Tony Slydini, widely considered to be one of the 3 greatest sleight-of-hand masters of the 20th century (Dick Cavett and Woody Allen were his students at the same time). Bob is one of the few magicians in the world who still performs some of Slydini’s mind-bending feats of magic.
