R.
Bruce
Performing a hilarious combination of stand-up and musical comedy, R. Bruce has been called, "A Cross Between George Carlin and Jimmy Buffett."
To quote the College Music Journal…
"Not only can he make you laugh with his humor, as a song writer he is actually quite good… extremely catchy and tuneful, emphasizing his humorous lyrics."
They are the kind of songs that people tend to learn and share with their friends. Ian Gillan, the British singer and songwriter of Deep Purple and Jesus Christ Superstar fame said…
"I am now the self-appointed (non-executive, unpaid) president of his U.K. fan club. We play his albums at parties, and when everyone knows the words, it's even funnier because it is part of our lives."

From the singer/songwriter scene of Austin, Texas in the mid 70's, to the acoustic rooms of the east coast in the 80's, R. Bruce honed his unique, humorous songwriting style. A talented singer and guitarist, he delighted audiences performing insightfully hilarious original songs.
In the early 90's, he combined his musical, songwriting roots with his natural knack for humor to become a popular headliner on the national comedy club circuit. From "A" rooms such as the Improv in DC, Charlie Goodnight's in Raleigh and Zanie's in Chicago, to literally hundreds of clubs and colleges, R. Bruce has shared his humor and music with thousands of appreciative audiences. In 2004 he performed to sold out audiences in England, including breaking the attendance record at the i.e. Theatre in
Axminster.
His two CD's, "Album?" and "Still Laughin'" have been featured on radio stations across the country, including regular airplay on the internationally syndicated Dr. Demento Radio show and Tom Tully's "Mad Cow Comedy" in Melbourne, AUS.
R. Bruce's humor is FUN. He brings people together in laughter through the things that we have in common, not the things that separate us. He is not "edgy" or angry. His original songs are a combination of rock and country. His musical parodies run the gamut from Lynyrd Skynyrd to Alanis
Morissette… from Garth Brooks to Steppenwolf. His show rocks. His audiences have a great time… and so does he.
