Meet Bob Bing...
Bob Bing Craig is a writer, comedian, actor, and teacher who loves to educate, entertain, and inspire others through his artistic expression and adventurous endeavors.
Bob studied improvisational comedy in Chicago and Los Angeles at highly regarded institutions like The Second City, iO (formerly ImprovOlympic), and The Groundlings. He was the founding member of two improv comedy groups and taught improvisation to hundreds of people. He currently performs as a regular cast member at ImprovCity in Tustin, California, and with other groups around the Los Angeles area.
His professional writing career began as a freelance lifestyle reporter and theater critic for several local and regional newspapers, and he served as the editor of Midwest Real Estate News magazine. His work has been seen in the Chicago Tribune, Crain's Chicago Business, and Indiana University Alumni Magazine among others.
He released the novel Sportsmans in 2022 and his next novel is expected in early 2025.

He's lived in several basements during his life, completed eight marathons, and worked on the flight deck of the USS ENTERPRISE (CVN-65) while doing a stint in the US Navy.
Bob was born in Chicago, grew up in Richmond, Indiana, and graduated from Indiana University with a BA in History. He is the father of two fine young men, Jack and Moss, who will undoubtedly save the Earth from destruction someday.
He now resides in Southern California in a small apartment in downtown Glendale. You can find him hunting for sea glass on the beach when he's not writing or making people laugh.
