Celebrating 30 years of tribute artistry, Bobby Bruce returns to the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE) in 2024, marking three decades since he first captivated audiences with his tribute to Neil Diamond.
A native of the Lower Mainland, Bruce’s roots with the PNE run deep—from his youthful days at the racetrack to his teen years in maintenance, evolving into seasons of singing and dancing in the Playland production shows. Over the years, he has headlined various stages, including the mainstage with the Solitary Band, and was named Entertainer of the Year in 2006.
This year’s performance is more than a show; it’s a homecoming.
A revered figure in the tribute world, Bobby’s journey as Nearly Neil began in 1994. His talent quickly caught the attention of Las Vegas’ Legends in Concert, leading to a 10-month tour across the US. His international acclaim soared with a whirlwind 60-show tour in Australia, where he earned the beloved moniker, Nearly Neil. Bruce’s performances are celebrated for their authenticity and flair, capturing the spirit of Neil Diamond while adding his own distinctive charisma. Acclaimed by critics and adored by fans, his show has continued to entertain and charm audiences on stages across Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America for decades.
As we celebrate Bobby Bruce’s 30th Anniversary as Nearly Neil at the PNE 2024, we invite you to join us in honouring a career that has not only stood the test of time but has also brought joy to fans around the world.
