Bob Marley - Comedian

Just to make it absolutely clear - this is the Maine-based comedian we're talking about here, not the late Jamaican reggae superstar, hence the photos. Robert Cochrane Marley Jr, to give his full name, focuses his material mainly on observations of his life in Maine and New England in general. Marley is also a regular on Comedy Central shows, and also appeared in 1999 crime movie The Boonedock Saints, and its sequel.
