Bob Stromberg

Bob Stromberg (Author/Bobby Bean) Bob Stromberg grew up in the Allegheny Mountains of rural Pennsylvania. Throughout his early school years, his deepest desire was to be recognized “class clown”, but as the sensitive son of a school administrator and a teacher he found his aspirations unattainable. Receiving an art degree from North Park College in Chicago, he continued his studies for two years with legendary mime teacher Tony Montanaro at Celebration Theatre in Maine. Then he began a career performing his unique blend of story, stand-up and shtick in venues from churches, to corporate settings and stadiums. Bob originated the character of Bobby Bean and played the part for Triple Espresso’s first ten years. He also created the one-man show, Mr. Wonder Boy, which premiered in Sept ’08 at the Music Box Theater in Minneapolis and later enjoyed multi-week runs at Nelson Hall at Elim Park in Cheshire, CT and at the Temple Theater in Des Moines, IA.

Bob lives in Minnesota with his wife Judy, and tours extensively as a featured comedian and speaker. In both capacities it is his joy to advocate for impoverished children through the Christian ministry of Compassion International releasing children from spiritual, economic, social and physical poverty.
