About Me
- Name: Bob Williamson
- Location: Bolton, United Kingdom
Bob Williamson is an award winning comic (The award was not for comedy) He was born in Bolton and still lives there (in a different house!) During the 1970's he released 3 LPs: SUPERTURN (Sweet folk all records), GREATEST HITS VOLUME 6 (EMI records) and STILL HAZY AFTER ALL THESE BEERS (EMI records). In 2006, bowing to pressure from music and comedy lovers, he released all 3 albums on one 35 track CD which can be obtained at his website at www.bobwilliamson.org. His TV appearances are too many to mention but the ones that are still being repeated worldwide are: wheeltappers/shunters club, Corrie, Granada News, Phoenix nights, His live performances have included such diverse venues as LONDON PALLADIUM, HILTON HOTEL DUBAI, HAMMERSMITH ODEON, HONG KONG FOLK FESTIVAL & a disused scout hut outside Rotherham Since a back injury made him cut down on traveling and touring, writes comedy scripts for TV and radio and fellow comics. He is 6 foot 4 (worth the climb) and stubbornly clings to his 70's hippie type hairstyle. Among his current projects is finishing a TV comedy, begun with his late friend Hovis Presley, about a man traveling around Ireland using only the map on a tea towel
