"Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on."
— Bob Newhart

Winner of 2 Emmys®, 3 GRAMMYS® , the Mark Twain Prize For Humor, and the Peabody Award, Bob Newhart's trademark "one-sided telephone conversations" are so well known, that he is the only man in America who could conduct his own interview. In fact, he's is perhaps the only man in the world who can talk to himself on the phone without people looking at him strangely.

Despite his age, Newhart continues to perform live before sellout audiences all over the country and the world. With routines he creates from today's newspapers in his unique style, and some of his early classic routines (which audiences demand he perform), Bob Newhart is still garnering critical raves and pleasing audiences at the same time. Newhart cites as one of his major inspirations, American humorist and writer Robert Benchley. Dan Martin of the comedy team Rowan and Martin said Newhart is not a standup comic as such, not a joke teller, but a humorist, comparing Newhart's work to Mark Twain and Robert Benchley.

Don't miss Bob Newhart, live, one night only, March 20th, at 7 pm... and laugh out loud as he explores the absurdities of everyday life, as only he could do.
