Starting back in the 1920s and running some thirty years, Bisbee's Comedians tent show toured the South 34 weeks a year, bringing stage plays and entertainment to hundreds of towns, large and small. It was based in Memphis, Tennessee and was managed by Jess C. Bisbee. Many famous actors, singers and comedians got their start with Bisbee's, but there is virtually no information about Jess Bisbee himself, or the actress, Mary Bisbee who was part of the entourage. If anyone knows more about Jess and Mary and Bisbee's Comedians, we would like to hear from you.
