Special Message from Bob: Wow, talk about charities that hit close to home. Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot in my heart for children's charities. Todd Stone is a great guy, a great dad, a lawyer with a practice similar to mine, and a neighbor. His 2 boys are a few years older than mine. I used to see him playing at the local pool with his boys on hot summer nights. When I heard that his boys had a form of Muscular Dystrophy, I wanted to try to help in some way. In my comedy career, I have been blessed to get to know and become friends with some of the great comics of our time. Brett Leake is truly someone you should see perform. Both hilarious and inspirational, he is the most humble star I know. He is both "real" and really funny.
Here is my irresistable offer- I am not so presumptious that I am not aware of all the great charities that my readers are involved with- kid's cancer groups like St. Baldrick's and Connor's Heroes, cleft palate babies in China, Cambodian Relief, Special Olympics, Jackson-Feild Girls Home, etc. We want a great turnout for next Wednesday. Just RSVP to me by Monday at 4:00 p.m. at 804-673-5600 and YOU GET IN FREE. Bring a group, and as you can see below, you could leave with the "mother of all free swag bonuses" ever! No pressure, no sales pitch. If you want to make a donation next Wednesday, I'll be happy to forward it to this great cause. Oh, by the way, did I mention that I am matching any contributions made by my guests up to $1,000.00!? (Sorry Todd and Edibell, that million dollar bill above is fake although I am sure that I am in the running to have my smirking grill placed on a real million dollar bill someday.)
Please join us for an evening I promise you will never forget.

Starring: Brett Leake
|
Comedian Brett Leake stands apart - or at least sits apart -
from his peers. In his youth, the Virginia native and William & Mary grad
was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. In 1991, he became the first disabled
comic to appear on NBC's The Tonight Show about which Jay Leno said, "He broke up the whole room. People realized here's a man with a
disability and he's not gonna' let it bother him." Brett now has a
total of 5 appearances on The Tonight
Show. Other television appearances include Entertainment Tonight and
the American Comedy Awards. In 2003, PBS stations around the country
began running his hour-long comedy special "Laughing Matters with Brett
Leake." Join us to see why Brett's clean, brilliant comedy has
garnered such acclaim. In June 2008, Brett will receive the National Humor
Treasure Award.
In 1998, Brett started to work also as a motivational
speaker adding to his standup act, personal stories and what have been called
'philosophic lecturettes', that address using humor as a problem-solving
device, and as a means to get more out of life. Brett is more than a funny guy
-- he is an extraordinary inspiration to all who meet him. Join us for an evening of laughs and inspiration you will never forget.

profile cases for pro athletes combined with his hilarious comedy act have made
Bob an extremely popular choice for corporate events.
THE VERDICT IS

"Battle has mastered the comedic persona."
-Virginia Lawyers Weekly
"Battle has proven to be a talented comedian. His
act is intelligent, clean and polished."

very funny!"

Mix 107 FM Radio, Washington DC
"When it comes
to knowing what is funny to the professional crowd, Bob Battle is one of us and
he gets us- he is our Jerry Seinfeld."
-Ben Glass,
Esq., Great Legal Marketing

The Washington Times Can Agree
on Something
"-never seen anyone like him. (Battle's)
material is original and
he has a style that is all his own."
-The Washington Post
"Well-known
Washington area attorney/comedian Bob Battle has retained his sense of humor
since moving his law practice to Richmond following his marriage..."
-The Washington
Times
