Bob Slayer
Bob Slayer is an Edinburgh Comedy Award winning comedian, musician and promoter. He has been part of a new economic model for venues at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe which has made the event fairer and more affordable for performers and audiences. Acts that have performed at his venues have won and been nominated for a number of prestigious awards.
Slayer is a former music manager, who was tour and production manager for bands such as Snoop Dogg, The Magic Numbers, Bloodhound Gang and Electric Eel Shock[citation needed] who he worked with since 2003. Prior to that he had been a jockey. He has performed stand-up at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe since 2008. As well as Brighton Fringe, Glasgow International Comedy Festival, Leicester Comedy Festival, Galway Comedy Carnival, Humorfest Bergen, Crap åppå Park Oslo, World Fringe Festival Perth, Adelaide Fringe. He has also toured with Steve-O, Phil Kay, Simon Donald, Jason Rouse.
Slayer has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe every year since 2008. Solo Shows
Other Fringe shows include: ComedyOpoly (Comedians and Boardgames), How 2 Drive A Bus (Kids Show)
In 2016 Slayer produced Iraq Out & Loud at the Edinburgh Fringe. 1500 comedians and members of the public read the entirety of the 2.6 million word Chilcot Report for 24 hours a day, over 13 days. The project was one of the most talked about events at the Fringe that year and won the Edinburgh Comedy Awards Panel Prize for Spirit of the Fringe as well as the TV Bomb Zeitgeist Award.
Slayer is driver and promoter of a mobile theatre and piano bar on his own converted ex-London double decker bus. The BlundaBus first appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2015, parked outside Potterrow Underpass and has been back each year since. It has also appeared at festivals around the UK such as Glastonbury, Kelburn, Nozstock, Musicport, Freerange, Leicester Comedy Festival, Glasgow Comedy Festival. As well as further afield in Denmark, Norway at Humorfest, Bergen and Galway International Comedy Carnival.
Under the name Heroes of Fringe, Slayer and associates promote and operate a number of venues at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the world's largest arts festival and the Leicester Comedy Festival, and tours around the UK and Europe.
In 2011 Bob Slayer programmed some acts in to the Hive as part of the Laughing Horse Free Festival: Phil Kay, Kunt and the Gang, John Robertson, Lucy Hopkins, Frank Sanazi and Slayer himself. Kunt and The Gang promoted his show with some stickers in the shape of a crudely drawn cock which he suggested punters might want to 'decorate' posters for other shows around the Festival. Established large venue Underbelly and one of the major comedy agents Avalon threatened to sue and 'Cockgate' became one of the most talked about 'events' of the festival. Much discussion followed about how the stunt highlighted the over commercialisation of the Fringe.
