Who Bobby Tessel is
Bobby Tessel is a stand-up comedian, host and MC who bills his act as clean, clever comedy, and one of the few comics to have performed on both The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Late Show with David Letterman.
A graduate of Arizona State University, Tessel did his first set on stage at the Funnybone Comedy Club in Cincinnati and went on to win the Northern Californian Comedy Competition and reach the finals of the San Francisco International Stand-Up Comedy Competition. His comedy special Not Right Now is on Dry Bar Comedy, and in October 2026 Dry Bar Comedy put up a full special of his on its YouTube channel. In 2012 he headlined Comedy Night at the Ave in Auburn.
