The Best Christian Entertainer for Church and Ministry Events.

Actually, he’s a Christian everything. But you probably mean “Is Bob a Christian stand up comedian?” In that case, the answer is no. A stand up comedian typically performs his routine as a monologue, usually without props. While Bob does deliver comedy for several minutes in the show without props, most of his routines involve performing extraordinary skills or juggling routines in a comedic fashion. In addition he interacts with the crowd, and also gets some volunteers to help during the show. While “comedy juggler” may be a close descriptor – “comedy variety act” would be better since many of the things he does in the show are not technically juggling. (Unicycle, Poi Swinging, Memory Skills, etc). When he speaks about his faith on stage, he does it out of “character” separate from the performance. So, Yes, he is a Christian. Yes, he’s often called a comedian. But he’s not technically a “Christian Comedian” in the sense that he jokes about faith matters or things that only believers would get. Get it?

The normal show length is about an hour. If he’s speaking and has freedom, he would add 15-25 minutes to that. But show length and speaking time is always flexible. They have lots of material though and could perform 2 different 1 hour shows, or five 20 minute shows, etc.

Yes. When Bob and Jane were married in 2007, Jane quit her job and joined the business full time. She helps both on stage and off stage. They banter a bit during the show. She is kind of like Paul Shaffer to David Letterman.

If there are planes that go there, they can travel there. If you want to rent tech equipment from them, they have to be able to drive there. Usually that would mean shows in Ontario, Quebec, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, New York, Ohio, Vermont, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky.

“Evangelism is speaking words. It’s sharing news. It’s being faithful to God by presenting the good news… that Christ, by his death and resurrection, has secured a way for a holy God and sinful people to be reconciled. God will produce true conversions when we present this good news (see John 1:13; Acts 18:9-10). In short, evangelism is presenting the good news freely and trusting God to convert people (see Acts 16:14). “Salvation comes from the Lord” (Jonah 2:9; cf. John 1:12-13).”

No. Bob first performs a one hour show, and then dynamically speaks and shares the gospel after, out of character, explaining Law and Grace, for about 10-25 minutes. (The time frame is always flexible and up to you).
This method allows him to keep the entertainment the entertainment, and the gospel the gospel. The audience is made aware of the structure of the performance at the beginning of the show so that everyone knows what’s coming.
Bob and Jane have been greatly influenced by direct evangelism training from Ray Comfort, Living Waters, and Way of the Master Ministries.

Not in the traditional sense you might be thinking. After explaining Who God is, Who We Are, (our sin problem) and What God Did so that we don’t have to go to hell, Bob explains what our response should be (repentance and faith) and how we can do that by coming to God in prayer. He sometimes refers to Psalm 51 as an example prayer. He usually strongly urges the listeners to go before God before leaving the building or before going to bed that night and confess their sins (repent) and believe the Gospel (put their faith in Christ) before it’s too late. Sometimes volunteers are arranged in advance to counsel if needed. At other times, the pastor will come up and do a traditional altar call following the message. It’s totally up to the presenters what they want to do.

Some of Bob’s hobbies (besides juggling) include: snowboarding, scuba diving, one wheel boarding, riding his Can Am Spyder motor bike, playing video games (mostly car racing sims and Overwatch), reading books, reading blogs, studying the Bible, home theatre, and playing with his 13 year old son.

Jane loves anything to do with decorating or home decor, home renovations, shopping, reading, cooking, riding her Spyder with Bob, and being a mother. They both love and serve at their church in various ways. Jane serves on the children’s ministry team and Bob leads a small group. They both love garage saling and thrift store searching.

If you want to spoil them back stage, Bob loves Jumbo Sour Keys, Ruffles Salt n Vinegar chips, and cold Diet Coke. Jane likes, Rold Gold Pretzel Sticks, Smarties (only available in Canada) and Iced Tea or Tim Hortons Coffee.
