Relive the lives and humor of Bob Hope and Jack Benny in “It’s All in the Timing: The Genius of Jack Benny & Bob Hope” on Thursday, October 24, at 6:00 p.m. This entertaining examination of two of America’s most beloved comedy icons will take place in the Little Theatre on Georgian Court University’s Lakewood campus.
Jack Benny (1894–1974) and Bob Hope (1903–2003) were both acknowledged masters of comedic timing, yet their comedy styles were polar opposites of one another. Benny excelled in delivering his material with ease; he could do more with a gesture than most comedians could do with an entire monologue.
From the early days of his illustrious career, Hope’s style was that of the brash, fast-talking comedian. His quick wit and rapid-fire delivery made Bob Hope America’s most celebrated and decorated comedian of our time. Despite their differences, they had one common result: they were two very funny men!
