Bob Doolally
A legend in his own liquid
lunchtime,
Bob 'The Gob' Doolally is now recognised as one of
the most original and unique character comedy acts on the UK stage
and screen. Retired football manager and ex-player who now hacks
out a living as an after-dinner speaker and third-rate media
pundit, Bob has been lauded by both the public and the press
alike.
An evening with Bob recalls his
footballing career in all
its gory detail ... the endless celebs he played for and managed,
the numerous fights and on-pitch debacles,
the six marriages to small town beauty queens, Tennent’s Lager
Lovelies and C-list wannabes, and, of course, countless anecdotes
of drink-fuelled debauchery.
Bob has appeared in six sell-out
Edinburgh Fringe shows, three national tours of Scotland,
performances at comedy festivals throughout the UK and numerous TV
and radio shows - including 'Under The Moon' (C4) and
Radio 5's live coverage of the 1998 World Cup. Throughout
2002-3, Bob found a new legion of fans as a regular star of the
BBC1 TV series, The Live Floor Show. His appearances in the
2004 follow-up series 'Floor Show' took this crazed,
vodka-fuelled character into new depths of depravity and new
heights of comic creativity. With a live CD now released on his
own ‘Sadly Dead Now’ label the cult is spreading.

Doolally is to football punditry .. this alcohol and bile-spewing
madman is just as witheringly observed as the landlord'
Guardian
‘All the skill and precision of a
Beckham free-kick’ Stage
‘delivers a diatribe as blue as the
Scotland shirts ... and as comical as their World Cup record’
Herald

football'
