Zany by name, Zany by nature is a terrible way to start a biography. Thankfully, American comedian Bob Zany doesn’t deserve that title. He has, however, been described as ‘The Most Sarcastic Comedian of All-Time’ — it’s the title of his Dry Bar comedy special that has been watched over 4 million times on YouTube since it was uploaded in April 2021. He has also been nominated for three American Comedy Awards and had the honour of representing the USA at the World’s Funniest Person contest in 2016, which is quite some honour. His 45-year-long career has been the subject of a documentary called Close But No Cigar.
Zany is a veteran comic with well over 1000 television appearances to his name. The first of these came in 1977 when he was 15. He appeared on The Gong Show and was yanked offstage halfway through his set by a man dressed as a nun. In 1988, he returned to the show, only this time as a celebrity judge, having established himself as one of America’s prime comedians. He has appeared on Jay Leno, An Evening at the Improv, American Bandstand, Comics Unleashed, and many more. Between 1995 and 2007, he was a co-host of the annual Jerry Lewis Telethon. He has also hosted The Zany Report on both radio and Dry Bar Comedy’s popular YouTube channel. Today, he is as popular as ever with plenty of must-watch YouTube clips and over 22,000 Twitter followers to his name.
