THIS IS GOING TO BE LONG, BUT WORTH IT!
"When Robert (as we know him, but goes by his childhood nickname "Bobby" in the comedy world), who has been our family's trusted financial advisor for decades, mentioned offhandedly that he's been "moonlighting" as a Standup comedian, our curiosity piqued. But honestly, given his sharp wit & the ease in which he navigates the complexities of finance, none of us were surprised. Yet, the thought of him on stage, "trading spreadsheets for punchlines," was too intriguing to pass up. So, we decided to see for ourselves what Robert's comedy world was all about, and OMG, what a pleasant surprise!
Attending one of his shows in Sherman Oaks, CA we expected... perhaps a few finance-related jokes, maybe some light-hearted pokes at some of his clients, or the nervousness of a beginner... but it was nothing like that. What we didn't expect was to be blown away by his comedic timing and his unique talent for making people laugh (without even using a PowerPoint - haha).
Not only did he enrich our appreciation for his multifaceted personality, but he also demonstrated the power of humor that brings people together. We left the show with a deeper bond with our advisor and a newfound admiration for his ability to navigate two drastically different worlds with grace and skill.
If you only know Robert (Bobby) only as a financial advisor (an incredibly knowledgeable one at that who has already done so much for our family financially), you're missing out on our new little secret: a comedic talent that makes you realize how fortunate you are to know him. A talented and genuine personality, a family man, and an outstanding human being. We're all already looking forward to attending one of his next shows! Can't Wait - get back home to California ... We Miss you!
