Al Millar traveled to Kanab, Utah to talk with Bob Besmehn, aka Bob At Large. Bob is one of the hardest working street performers I’ve ever met. I first met him in on Pearl Street in Boulder in 2002, he was the most welcoming performer on the pitch and had a hilarious show that involved a treadmill, amongst many other things. This was early in his street performing career when he displayed just about every skill he had, and he has many. They talk about him starting out and becoming obsessed with juggling at 13, doing the odd gigs, working construction for a time before joining the Jordan International Circus as a teenager. He talks about going to the Adelaide Fringe for the first time and working in Oz where he really tightened up his show. If you’ve never met Bob he is a friendly, down to earth kind of guy and his personality really comes through in this conversation.
