Comedian Bob Marley leads Comedy Connection for a laugh Riot


Bob Marley is a well known   comedian in Maine. He can just take the entire crowd on a   laugh-a-   ton strip   and would make a person giggle for a life time. He gets a standing ovation for all his shows which stand   as a   perfect testimony to his rising popularity and celebrity status. However Marley puts   the famous quotient that he has earned to good use too.
Marley used his skill to make people laugh naturally for raising funds   for the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital   in Portland, Maine. The guy   who was also eyeing a world record performed a 40 hour gig   at the Comedy Connection in Portland. It was a nonstop stand up routine which Marley performed   making the entire show a laugh riot with his cool jokes. His talent   was so overflowing that for the first 18 hours Marley ensured that his jokes did not get repeated   and kept   delivering   fresh comic stuff. And with so much of talent   getting poured no one could hardly think of missing that opportunity to have a thorough laughter session. This prompted his efforts   to  raise  $12,000  for the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital.
It is like if he opens his mouth to speak itself sends out   cheer signal   across the audience. .According to the World Record Rules  Marley was allowed to take a break after every one hour and must have an official  time keeper to be present. Also the rules stated that he must have at least 10 persons as audience   at all times. So  in a way the rules implicitly say that the momentum should be gong steadily to keep the audience stuck to their seats while watching the show. And we must say Marley is one of the few men who keep competing with themselves. He  broke the previous  record of  38 hours, 6 minutes which was  held by Lindsay Webb of Australia in October  2009. When he superseded the Webb’s record by one minute he got a thumbs up from the judges and the crowd for having smashed the earlier one.
With so much of  value  for entertainment  coming does not come free of charge. People have to pay to watch Bob Marley joke around, hear  his comedy  and laugh at it. All the proceeds  from the ticket sales went to Barbara  Bush Children’s Hospital  at Maine Medical  Center. According to Oliver Keithly   who owns Maine Comedy Connection where Marley had performed remarked that it had taken 18 months of  hard work for staging the successful record attempt.
The  longest stand up performance  lasted for 40 hours and was set by Bob Marley at Portland Comedy  Connection, in Portland, Maine, United States of America on September 27, 2010.
