Headed West
Bobby Wayne Stauts’ upbringing guaranteed him to have a unique life. He was raised in a mechanic shop by a father that was addicted to drag racing and a mother that was addicted to women. His parents split when he was young. Therefore, the days of his youth were shared between Georgia and Mississippi. Bobby moved to Texas and got married shortly after his high school graduation. Then, he opened a business building custom cars. Unfortuantely both of those situations ended up failing. As a result, he loaded up three garbage bags full of clothes and without rhyme or reason, headed West.
Las Vegas Strip Regular
Bobby decided to vanish into the mobs of tourists passing through Las Vegas. Shortly after, a group of friends convinced Bobby that he should try stand up. He agreed to try it, in an attempt to prove them wrong. But it turns out his friends had the right idea. Today Bobby headlined over 40 colleges and universities, appeared on a handful of major television networks and is a regular on the Las Vegas strip. Make some time to check out Bobby Wayne Stauts. You’ll never look at southern folks the same after you do!
Podcasts & more
Stauts co-hosts the podcast “Rise to Offend.” In addition, he hosted a comedy presentation at the Life is Beautiful festival. In turn, he found that Las Vegas audiences will accept political jokes that are aimed not at specific candidates, but at the political process itself. Jokes based on the nuances of American politics might be a tough sell for Las Vegas audiences. Bobby says most of his humor is “…based on the visual. There is no political humor based on people’s policies or anything like that. It’s more or less making fun of the way people look and the way they act.”
