ROB BARTLETT IS "MR. BIG SHOT" AT WATERBURY'S SEVEN ANGELS THEATRE

Rob Bartlett, actor, writer, comedian and Emmy and Drama Desk Award Winner, is taking his colorful multi-faceted act on the road. For a man who began his comic career in kindergarten, his autobiographical story is sure to engender laughter and fun with its honesty and candor. Let Seven Angels Theatre in Waterbury introduce you to “Mr. Big Shot” from Thursday, November 3 to Saturday, November 13 for the true story, the unvarnished truth, the whole megillah, the essence of the man. A virtual barrel of laughs, Rob Bartlett tells it like it is as he sees the world. If you didn’t catch his act in elementary school, maybe you were privileged to see him in his thirty year adventure on the “Imus in the Morning” radio show from 1987 to 2018. He appeared as a regular writer and performer doing his classic shtick as such personalities as Tom Carvel Artonio Noriega, Shacky Bhula and Buddy Miyagi as well as The Godfather, Andrew Dice Clay, Dr. Phil McGraw, Rush Linbaugh, Larry King, Bill Clinton, Gary Busey, Hulk Hogan, Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, Ringo Starr, Bob Dylan and even Yoko Ono and Paula Dean. In addition to his long list of celebrity impressions, Bartlett has added a thirty year favorite Sal Monella whose Brooklyn accent injects a unique flavor into his “Night Before Christmas in Brooklyn” poem. Bartlett, who writes his own material, began his career as a stand-up comic at Richard M. Dixon’s White House Inn, a talent showcase on Long Island. There he fortuitously met Eddie Murphy and he was off and running. Appearing on stage, film and on television and writing television specials, this established professional has succeeded in all aspects of the entertainment world, as his on stage stories will tell in detail. The versatile Mr. Bartlett has done everything from being the voice of Marty the dog in the hit animated children’s show "Kenny the Shark" to being on Broadway in the dual roles of Twimble and Wally Womper in “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” starring Daniel Radcliffe.
