A page-turning debut in the tradition of Davis Sedaris, Holidays on Ice, BuffetHead is a darkly hilarious story about the unique and very funny life of Bob Girth.Bob is a performer. A real, honest-to-God player. The quintessential blue collar, ham and egger, never-had-a-Broadway-credit actor. He did every dumb acting job imaginable, although he drew the line at being a human billboard. He refused to wear a banana suit and wave at passing motorists to draw attention to a flagging car wash business. Nor would he dress as the Statue of Liberty and shill for some shady tax preparation company every April. No sirree! His work is on the legitimate stage, in front of a paying audience. But after years of waning stage work, he eventually gravitates to the more lucrative corporate entertainment world. He becomes the undisputed BuffetHead King, a dubious distinction in the often dodgy realm of convention entertainment. Bob is a raconteur. He regales anyone in earshot with his entertainment boondoggles and the truth he discovers on his road less travelled. In Bob’s world, failure greatly outweighs success and catastrophe is the breeding ground for all good tales. Bob is at his best when things are going horribly awry. He is the man hurrying to keep all of the plates spinning while the Sabre Dance soundtracks his frantic efforts. For Bob, entertainment is life, everything else is waiting.
