Career
Although still under 18, Bugler has become an accomplished comedian in such a short time. Beginning his career with performances at the small Cafe' 101, he slowly but surely developed a comfort with being on stage without memorized lines and planned movements. By early 2007, Bugler had developed his own comedic style, using vocal characteristics, with bursts of over the top action, covered with otherwise minimal movements. In December 2007, he embarked on the NorCal-SoCal Tour, performing at several small comedy clubs and other venues in his hometown of San Francisco, as well as places in the Bay Area. Unfortunately, the final part of his tour was cut short due to his age and inability to travel to L.A. alone. However, he had finally established himself, not only as a Bay Area comedian, but an international comedian as well. He concluded his tour with perhaps one of his best US performances, the New Years Eve Opener 2008, where he emceed for a local new years eve party in the upper class bay area. Since then, Bugler has been considerably under the radar on the comedy scene. Surfacing only twice since then for his high school talent show and freshman orientation. Today, Sean Bugler is a fast-rising comedian with enormous potential. Although currently off the circuit to focus on his education, rumors have been circulating that he doesn't plan to maintain such a low profile for long. Large updates to his website recently, including his purchase of www.seanbugler.com, have given way to speculation that he's considering stepping back into the comedic lifestyle.
