Marley grew up in Bangor, Maine before moving to Portland, Maine. Marley said his "dad had no idea there was a singer named Bob Marley."[1] He attended the University of Maine at Farmington, where he realized he wanted to pursue comedy as his career.[2]
As his career was taking off, Marley moved to California and lived there for several years, but moved back to Maine in 2005. His third child was born shortly before the family moved back.[3][4]
Marley's comedic bits are mostly about life in Maine. His first television appearance was on Comedy Central. He also appeared as Detective Greenly in the movie The Boondock Saints, and reprised this role in The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day.
He has been a guest host on XM Radio channels 97, Blue Collar Radio, and 99, RawDog Comedy; and, as of 2013, appears weekly on the Portland-based station Coast 93.1-WMGX in a segment called "The World According to Bob."[5]
On Thursday, September 23, 2010, at 11:02 pm EDT, Marley entered the Guinness Book of World Records with the longest continuous stand-up routine, beating the record held by Lindsay Webb from Australia. He completed 40 hours of comedy, the first 17 hours and 14 minutes without any repetition of material.[6] Marley's record was broken by David Scott on April 30, 2013, with a time of 40 hours and 8 minutes.[7]
