Red Lobster Enterprise Leasing Champion TV Rental And many more businesses, professional & social organizations When Rob was younger he was a part of the BOZO family in both Houston Texas and also in New Orleans Louisiana. Doing a daily ( 5 days a week )

hour long live Kids show ( BOZO’S BIG TOP ) in both markets. Rob, as BOZO made many personal appearances at Shopping Centers, Hospitals, Grand

openings and nursing homes etc.as well as the daily show. He loved to do these appearances a lot. He created big smiles and lots of laughter in both

the young and the young at heart.

BOZO was known for his innovative style of entertainment and progressive teaching abilities. Since the show was live daily BOZO ( Rob ) had to create

shows that dealt with safety, learning, animals and much more. Even though the show was only an hour long lots of time and energy went into that

hour on the TV screen. It sometimes made for a 12 hour work day. Each show was a challenge and with 100 kids live in the studio each day he never

knew what would happen next. BOZO as well as Captain Kangaroo, Romper Room, Mr. Rogers, etc. became Icon’s in America and created a lot of the

formative, positive, principals and ideas that are used today in Children’s Television and entertainment. The nice part was that you were BOZO during

the day and could remove the façade and then you were just Rob again. Rob even today still loves to see the smiles that come from his CLOWNING

around.

Rob always had an interest in the art and entertainment

value of Escape Magic. When he was a young man living

in Tampa he had the great fortune to meet and work

with a kind generous and talented older gentleman

named Noel Lester. Noel said he was in his 80’s when he

and Rob met but I’m sure he was older than that. He had

worked with Houdini and was a Master Magician and

Escape Artist himself. Rob was tutored by Noel and this

created an even deeper love of the Magical Escape Arts.

Rob always wanted to do something magical and

dangerous that no one else had done. Well due to

Charlie and Jane Bramble of Orlando Fl. who had seen

him trying and accomplishing something they had never

seen before, they wrote the National Television Show “

You Asked For It” staring Rich Little to see if Rob could

repeat a very difficult and dangerous stunt they say him

do at the Florida State Fair. Well as it happened the show

did contact Rob. In a matter of 2 months they came to

Tampa to film the never before accomplished Hot Air

Balloon Straight Jacket Escape. Here are some of the

photos taken at the beginning when he was practicing,

when he escaped under a Crain, and finally his Death

Defying Escape under the Balloon World Hot air Balloon.

He accomplished something that would have made Noel

proud, and did something no one else had done or has

done since. By the way did we tell you that Rob Is afraid

of heights? Believe it or Not.

Rob in Vienna

Magic, Face painting, and Balloon sculptures are still a part of Robs Smile making

mission. As he often says he has truly been blessed to be able to do something he loves

so much ( making people happy ) and he has been doing that successfully for over 60

years. Rob would like to show you some of the different types of things, and characters he has done and created. You will see in these 2 slide presentations just

a few of the many sides of his entertainment capabilities. He transforms himself into W.C. Fields, Alfred Hitchcock, Oliver Hardy, Santa, Easter Bunny,

Bernie Blumfeld ( the Typical Tourist ) Winston Churchill, Statue of Liberty, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Mr. Monopoly, A Zombie who’s a real dead

beat, Big Julie ( from Guys and Dolls ), a Key Stone Cop, A very special Genie, Cupid, Bacchus God of Wine, and even doing Magic with Mickey at Disney to

name a few. See how many you recognize and see what other characters you can spot. Rob has figured in his 60 years + he has done and created over

700 different personalities. Some time it’s hard to tell who is who at the Labby household.
