Having no past theatrical experience, the instant, "Hey, you don't have to memorize lines!" was the first draw. The second, of course, was the huge amount of money it pays. Erica was a member of 32nd Coming, the third champions of Bovine's Battle Royale. As a result of that win, they created and performed a 7-week prime time show, "Scrapbook of Life."

He knows that Santa is real and believes Santa will always fill the world with hope, caring and love. Bobby comes from a family of entertainers, singers, dancers and melodramatic hams. His day job is as an engineer, and NO he will NOT be quitting his day job. Saying that, Bobby expects to have loads of fun on stage and hopefully achieve success at making people laugh. Surprisingly, Bobby believes his horrible golf game taught him how to lie, yell, kick, throw, cheat, pout, and gloat. Who knew these skills would come in handy when he started taking Improv classes at the Bovine? As a member of the graduating class of 54, Bobby wants to thank his wife Michele, his great friend Tricia and his British mate Steve for introducing him to the Bovine and the wonderful art of "Improv." He also wants to thank his fellow classmates for making 2011 such a memorable year. Word Word to Sarah and Eric. More info...

Michele grew up in Tennessee and although she moved to Denver 5 years ago, she still has a sweet southern accent. Michele is a newlywed and considers it a bonus that she acquired the shortest last name in the world by marrying her husband Bobby To (bonus points for pronouncing her last name correctly- TOE).
