“Bob Slayer’s story is mental. He started out as Tour Manager for Electric Eel Shock from Japan and graduated to tour with bands like Snoop Dogg. On a tour with the Bloodhound Gang gig there was a problem on stage. He was sent out to entertain 1500 fans while it was sorted. It was a massive disaster. The next night the same thing happened. On the third night he learned his lesson and the crowd went wild!” NME
“Bob Slayer is one of the Real Alternative Comedians” The Guardian

“I think I sent the wrong reviewer to see your show…” Bernard, Editor of the Skinny
