Our guest today is one of the funniest performers in America and his recent success off-Broadway proved that. “That Wonder Boy” starring Bob Stromberg and directed by Risa Brainin dominated United Solo Theatre Festival in New York by winning Best One-Man Show, Best Direction and the coveted Audience Favorite awards.  These were among the top six awards presented and we were the only show to win three. Bob Stromberg has been delighting audiences all across America. He co-authored and starred in the megahit theatrical phenomenon, Triple Espresso (a Highly Caffeinated Comedy) breaking box office records worldwide. The Los Angeles Times described it as “…a triple jolt of inspired craziness”. And The Chicago Sun Times called Bob “Mesmerizing!” Of his rousing standing ovation performance on America’s Got Talent, Howard Stern said, “You wowed us!” Howie Mandell said, “I liked your character! I liked your voice! I like you!” Show Notes Bob's Website Bob on Facebook Bob on Twitter Let's Be Social 37 the Podcast on Twitter 37 the Podcast on Facebook Truth Work Media on Twitter Michael Yoder’s website Terry Linhart on Twitter Michael Yoder on Twitter   Special Offer from Audible.com: 37thePodcast listeners now enjoy an audiobook for FREE from Audible.com.

The Fabulous Miss Rosie Bitts is a burlesque diva, chanteuse, and sex and body-positive educator with a mission to empower. In this episode, we talk about feminism, the male gaze, doing scary things like taking your clothes off and singing in front of strangers (I don't know which is scarier to me), and learning to love our jiggly bits. Rosie cites Bettina May as an early influence and talks about the burlesque troupe she co-founded, The Cheescake Review. Rosie offers workshops as well as one-on-one teaching sessions for men and women to develop their sexy sides, and has also authored a number of erotica books and a solo show called "Stories of Love and Passion". It was written to raise awareness for sex worker rights and was selected for performance at New York's United Solo Theatre Festival, the world's largest festival of one-person acts. Bravo, Rosie!

Gutless & Grateful - musical - with Amy Oestreicher Gutless & Grateful in United Solo Theatre Festival, October 11th, 2014 2014 United Solo, the world's largest solo theatre festival, celebrates its 5th anniversary season and its dynamic expansion in scope and popularity. All shows are staged at Theatre Row: 410 West 42nd Street, New York City.  Tickets, with a price of $19.25 (including a $1.25 theatre restoration charge) are available at the Theatre Row Box Office and online through Telecharge.  You may also call Telecharge at +1-212-239-6200.  Amy Oestreicher is a 27 year old actress, musician, composer, dancer, writer, artist, yogi, foodie, and general lover of life.   At the age of 18, Amy fell into a coma for months, and once she came to, she resolved that she would never become the “patient” or “victim” that her medical circumstances wanted her to be. She simply allowed the unexpected detour to force her to investigate new productions and hobbies – she started a chocolate business, learned to cook and authored a food blog.  She wrote a one-act play, a graphic novel, started her autobiography, and accomplished her biggest dream to date, which was to tell her story in the medium she's always loved best – the theatre. In 2012, she wrote and starred in “Gutless & Grateful: A Musical Feast” – a one-woman musical about her unique journey.  For more info visit: http://amyoes.com/
