Bob Allen is a life-long resident of Chicago, mostly on the South Side. With his lovely wife Laura, he is the proud father of two beautiful girls, Lucy and Grace. The girls have now left he and Laura with two rescue cats who let them (Bob and Laura!) live with them. Bob's past involves making eyeglasses, stand-up comedy, loading airplanes, practicing law and tending bar, among other things. His play, "Opening Day", was produced to exactly zero reviews, however a friend gave it a thumbs up on the way out, so there's that. Bob has lived a life filled with classic Chicago opinions - championing the Sox, thin crust pizza, and dry Italian beefs - while pursuing an array of careers from courtrooms to comedy clubs.
