BIOGRAPHY

Some refer to this legend as Yid Vicious. He’s brutal! A true “comic’s comic,” Bobby Slayton, also often referred to as “The Pitbull of Comedy,” has been performing his own intense style of stand-up comedy for decades, becoming one of the best known, respected, and energetic comics working today. And there is no stopping “The Pitbull.” In 2010, he starred in his own one hour Showtime Special, “Born To Be Bobby.” Audiences will recognize Bobby from his scene-stealing roles in movies such as “Get Shorty,” “Ed Wood,” “Bandits” and “Dreamgirls.” He’s  also been seen on dozens of television shows including “The Tonight Show” and “Politically Incorrect.” Bobby’s many appearances on HBO have included “Comic Relief ” and his own stand-up special. He was also a series regular on the HBO series “The Mind of the Married Man,” and played Joey Bishop opposite Ray Liotta and Joe Mantegna in the critically-acclaimed “The Rat Pack.” Slayton’s distinctive gravelly voice has often been heard on animated shows like “Dr. Katz” and “Family Guy,” as well as many popular radio shows across the country including Howard Stern, Kevin & Bean, and Tom Leykis. The New York Daily News called Slayton “Armed and Dangerous” and the Las Vegas Review Journal pointed out that “Slayton’s refusal to comprise his art has always made him worth a special trip.” Bobby Slayton is definitely worth the trip – and then some. He’s hilarious.
