Bob Golub (born September 6, 1957) is an American comedian, actor, writer, and filmmaker of Polish descent, whose work is largely inspired from his true-life childhood experiences of growing up in a dysfunctional home located in the steel-mill town of Farrell, Pennsylvania.
The show derives its title from the nickname given to Golub's deceased father who, having lost an eye as a child, was unable obtain work and began a family roof-repair business for income.
Golub has stated that this influenced his career, as he sought to become funny enough to make his father laugh in spite of his anger, thus deflecting violence.
[1][2] Golub's self-written, self-directed independent feature docu-comedy Dodo was released in the year 2010, by Celebrity Video Distribution.
The show is a mix of taped live performance, professionally shot auto-biographical recreations of past events, and hundreds of hours of home video featuring himself and his family.
