- Scott Tracy, Scottsdale Lodge 43
"AWEsome set on Last Comic Standing!!! I've just been sittin' here watching the Invitational clips on Hulu and I think I've watched at least a dozen and you were by FAR the best. Really smart set, very tight and gigantic kudos for taking on PC. Thank you SO MUCH for getting THAT dialogue going. I think Roseanne wanted to see you take the p*** outta PC more, and so do I. I'll be watching for you, Kubota. Great job!"
- Lucinda E Snyder, San Francisco, Ca.
"You were the best yet! We appreciate you coming all the way down here for our event."

BIOGRAPHY
Bob Kubota began his career as a stand-up comedian while still a student of journalism at Arizona State University. Encouraged by virtually no one, he honed his particular idea of humor at "open mic nights" sponsored by various saloons and bistros throughout the Greater Phoenix area. Within two years, Bob was "on the bill" for paying customers at legitimate comedy clubs. Only then did he let his parents know that his life dream didn't include bar exams - just bars.
His penchant for dry wit, lighthearted sarcasm and deciphering life’s ironies has led him to the majority of the contiguous 48 states as well as Alaska and Hawaii. The sly take that he has on his own ethnicity continually proves to be a popular feature of his act. In 1996 he became an international performer when he joined the United Service Organization (USO) and now tours regularly with Armed Forces Entertainment's BATTLE COMICS (Barnhart Entertainment) providing comic relief to American military troops stationed around the globe. Bob has now spun his material in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bahrain, Italy, Spain, Portugal, England, Iceland, Hungary, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Diego Garcia, Australia, Haiti, Honduras, Cuba, Kosovo, Germany and many more. He has also performed in Hong Kong for English-speaking residents of the city’s bustling business and finance community. Tours coming up in 2017 include trips to Spain, Italy, Portugal, Turkey, Jordan and Egypt.
2017 also premiers the acclaimed documentary "I Am Battle Comic", in select cities. Producer/Comedian Jordan Brady follows Bob and fellow comics Don Barnhart, Jeff Capri and Slade Ham throughout their journey to Afghanistan, Bahrain & Kuwait entertaining the soldiers in March, 2016.
Bob is also a headline act on the Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL) Getaway, Epic & Escape, which has taken him all over the Carribean & Virgin Islands. Currently scheduled: 10/14-10/21 The Escape.
His television appearances include: Last Comic Standing / The Invitationals 2014 (NBC), An Evening at the Improv (Arts & Entertainment Network), Caroline’s Comedy Hour (A & E), Half Hour Comedy Hour (MTV), Stand-Up Spotlight (VH-1), Funny is Funny (“Si” TV) & Make Me Laugh (Comedy Central). Mr. Kubota is also a world-class exponent of deceptive sleight-of-hand. Do not play cards with him. He currently resides in Phoenix, Arizona where he is spending the rest of his days trying to teach his rescue dog to play golf.
