FLASH! It can now be revealed that Bruce Baum is the co-author of the three bestselling "Letters From A Nut" books, written under the pen-name Ted L. Nancy (with forwards and a backwards by Jerry Seinfeld!!! ), believed by some to be among the funniest books ever written.*
Bruce appears as himself on a special episode of The Simpsons: "The Last Temptation of Krusty"As if that wasn't enough, Bruce has, among other things, appeared on "The Simpsons" as himself, and is the creator of the comedy web-thingy, TheOuterNet.com.
Bruce also served for three seasons as creative consultant on ABC-TV's popular "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" and spent two years at Fox-TV as resident short film-maker and sketch comedian on "Sunday Comics" and "Comic Strip Live." He was then drafted by "America's Funniest People" where he appeared for two years in live and videotaped sketches. At least thrice Bruce has been the correct answer in the TV Guide Crossword Puzzle.

Playing "Rocky Mountain Way" with Joe Walsh at a No Nukes Concert: Priceless"If it was legal to stuff Daffy Duck, a Chinese Acrobat, and Benjamin Franklin into a blender and hit the puree button, you might pour out a glass of Bruce Baum. Unfortunately, we may never know for sure.
Someone once called Bruce "a 210 pound circus with a mustache," then rolled their eyes and passed out. Bruce was born, then quickly raised. He attended UCLA, where he played football, UC Davis where he received his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, and then went back to UCLA's prestigious film school, where he earned an MFA in Film.
Bruce was awarded two "Frackies" at Fox's "Fractured Flickers Award Show", coveted mainly because they were only given out once. Characters Bruce has created include: Babyman, Dimples the Cow, Macho Duck, and Chiaman.
Additonally, Bruce is responsible for the novelty hits, "Marty Feldman Eyes", "Cowifornication,", and "Don�t Cha Wish Your Boyfriend Was Bald Like Me". His album, �Born To Be Raised� was a Billboard magazine �Pick of the Week� and garnered much critical praise.
Bruce headlines regularly in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and top venues (and some not so top venues) around the globe. Through extensive exposure on television, film, radio, and live performances, he has built a solid national audience.
