Bob Hope Impersonator - Bill Johnson

Whether he is the M.C., headliner, or featured performer at your presentation, this act can stand alone, or be tailored to the specific needs of your event or party. If you have a special someone, or a unique reason for celebrating, Bill can include a reference to that in his performance.

In the act, Bill jokingly covers a wide range of Bob Hope's favorite topics, including our nation's Armed Forces, the game of golf, and Hope's dear friend, Bing Crosby.

Bill will entertain your "troops" dressed in a tuxedo, classic "Bob" golf attire, or military fatigues similar to those worn by Mr. Hope as he brought a song and a smile to all those men and women in uniform defending our country.

Bob Hope’s life in comedy comes to life once again with this lookalike- and soundalike- tribute to the legendary comedian. Bill Johnson has performed his tribute to the late, great Bob Hope across the U.S, and the South Pacific to rave reviews. Bill’s tribute works seamlessly for a wide range of events…as master of ceremonies, tributes to the troops, or corporate gatherings.

Bill has performed his tribute regularly at the National WWII Museum in New Orleans. When the Museum premiered the film "Beyond All Boundaries” in their Victory Theater, Bill was honored to introduce NBC-TV broadcast journalist Tom Brokaw, and perform a brief moment of comedy with the film’s Executive Producer, Academy Award winning actor Tom Hanks.
