Bruce Baum – Oct 15 to Oct 18
For goodness sake, what is Bruce Baum? Someone once called him “a 210 pound circus with a mustache” then rolled their eyes and passed out. Bruce was born, then quickly raised. He attended UCLA, where he played football, UC Davis where he received his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, and UCLA’s prestigious film school, where he earned an MFA in Film.

If it was legal to stuff Daffy Duck and Benjamin Franklin into a blender and hit the puree button, you might pour out a glass of Bruce Baum. Unfortunately, we’ll never know.
Bruce’s humor has permeated the entertainment-scape relentlessly for parts of four different decades.. Aside from everything else, he co-stars as himself in a special episode of Fox-Tv’s “The Simpsons” and at least twice he has been the correct answer in the TV Guide crossword puzzle.

Not long ago, Bruce completed his third season as a creative consultant on ABC-TV’s popular “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” Previously, Bruce spent two years at Fox-TV as resident short film-maker and sketch comedian on “Sunday Comics” and “Comic Strip Live.” He was then drafted by “America’s Funniest People” where he appeared for two years in live and videotaped sketches.

Bruce was awarded two “Frackies” at Fox’s “Fractured Flickers Award Show”, coveted in part because they were only given out once. Characters he has created include: Babyman, Dimples the Cow, and Chiaman.
In a word, he’s a “nut.”
Bruce headlines regularly in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and top venues (and some not so top venues) around the globe. Through extensive exposure on television, film, radio, and live performances, he has built a solid national audience.
Bruce can also be heard irregularly on The Lex and Terry Morning Show.
