Nov 07, 2009. Originally from Maine, Bob Marley began performing stand-
up comedy in his hometown of Portland. He moved to Boston early in his
career, gaining experience in a city known for spawning comedy all-
stars. Marley is one of the hottest and most sought after comedians in
the country. Making his first television appearance on Comedy Central,
he is now one of the few comics to do the complete late night circuit.
Marley's brand of high energy and offbeat observation of everyday life
things has captured the minds of fans for years. Adults are in for a
treat as they catch this Mainer's act on stage. Map + Directions
