Mr. Bob Stromberg for over thirty years has traveled the world performing his very unique and perfect blend of stand-up, story and shtick. He’s the co-author and an original star of the mega hit theatrical comedy, Triple Espresso (A Highly Caffeinated Comedy), which has been seen by nearly two million people from San Diego to the West End of London.

The Chicago Sun Times called Bob, “…a mesmerizing physical comedian.”

The London Times called him, “…a genuinely funny man

Laughter is Really Good Medicine

Laughter has been said to be the “aerobic exercise of the soul.” Humor gives us power and helps us to cope with a variety of life’s situations. Humor is recognized as a powerful means to reduce stress, dispel anger, enhance communication and contribute to physical, social and emotional well-being. Participants learn the value of laughter and how to incorporate more into their lives. It is also an important time to realize that having a sense of humor is ageless.

May 1st to August 1st is the choir’s registration time to enter the Festival. Please encourage your choir to enter the Festival this year. I know that a lot of choirs disburse for the summer. How about making the Festival a kick-off for the fall season with your choir. Remember the main purpose of the Festival is to “Restore the choirs” back into the churches.

Be Blessed, Jerry
