In Episode 90, I sit down with comedian Bobby Knauff and we get a surprise appearance by his hilarious puppet, Andre The Alien.
In this episode, Bobby shares his passion for puppets, his creative process for writing jokes for himself and Andre, and his inspirations in the world of comedy. We also delve into Bobby's early experiences in comedy, his battle with addiction, and how comedy played a vital role in his journey to sobriety, including the transformative impact of Michael Pollan's book, "Change Your Mind," and the role of psychedelics in his healing.
Originally from Thunder Bay, Bobby Knauff moved to Toronto in 2006 to pursue his comedy career. With achievements such as winning the 2012 Toronto Comedy Brawl, being a semi-finalist in SiriusXM Canada's Next Top Comic in 2013, and headlining with Yuk Yuks on a cross-Canada tour, Bobby has made a name for himself in the comedy scene. He has appeared on notable platforms like The Fresh Meat Showcase at The Second City, NXNE Music & Comedy Fest, JFL42, and has had numerous appearances on Much Music and MTV Canada. Additionally, Bobby's debut album, "Rock Bottom," released in May 2020, received widespread acclaim and can be heard on satellite radio and various streaming platforms.
Beyond stand-up comedy, Bobby's versatile talents extend to commercials, guest roles on television, and voice acting in cartoons. He is also one half of the sketch duo "The Two Sues" alongside Josh Stone and is a skilled puppeteer, bringing joy and laughter with his puppet buddy Andre.
