Openingly Bob by Bob Smith
As an openly gay comic, Bob Smith broke barriers with an appearance on "The Tonight Show." Now Smith offers up his own original, whine-free perspective on being grown up and gay.In OPENLY BOB, the acclaimed comedian candidly, and humorously, tackles issues facing grown-up gays as they make their place in an overwhelmingly straight society. From bringing your boyfriend home to your father's funeral, to being the only gay couple at a family wedding, to surviving couples counseling, Smith's decidedly wry spin on the events of our lives resonates with keen observation and hilarious truth."So Mom says to me on the phone, 'Just because you're coming home for your father's funeral doesn't mean we can't have fun!'"Sex education, meteor showers, lesbian ventriloquist dummies, fleamarket shopping, body piercing, pot -smoking drag queens, environmental correctness, Judgment Day, Samuel Beckett, Newt Gingrich, Coco Chanel, Sigmund Freud--nothing and no one escapes Smith's incisive eye in this very human collection of comic essays.Growing Up Gay, published with the Funny Gay Guys and nominated for a Lambda Award, is authored by Bob Smith. He performs across the country on a regular basis and has written for a number of television series, including Roseanne, Saturday Night Live, and the MTV Video Awards. Smith will develop and participate in a new homosexual sketch comedy series that will be coproduced by the CBC and Showtime. He was born in Buffalo, New York, and currently lives with his lover, Tom, in Los Angeles. Bob's e-mail address is bobscomedy@aol.com.
