JULIET PROWSE
"Bobby Ramsen is a friend of mine. A stand-up comic. Did nightclubs. I wrote a lot of his routines just as a friend. Not for money, just as a friend. He was a neighbor. I’d go to these shows with him. I started writing jokes for him and ended up writing a number of his routines he did on Ed Sullivan and other places – just for fun." - Larry Cohen, director of It's Alive, Black Caeser, Hell Up in Harlem.
