My objective will be to crush him with a bunch of material he hasnt seen before, which will be better than crushing him with a bunch of jokes he knows hes going to get crushed with, boasts Chuck Roy, the conservative half of the local comedic nemeses who will meet again at tonights 420 Showdown: Roy Vs. Hippieman. During the epic contest, emceed by comic Eugene Kenny, Roy and John Hippieman Novosad will roast each other with individual sets and then go head-to-head on a variety of topics, including balancing the budget, weed experiences and one determined by the audience, to test their quick wits. The adversaries are preparing for anything and everything. Ill write, write, write, Novosad retorts. Im going to hit him over the head with dick and weed jokes the likes of which hes never seen, and I may even write a special dick-and-weed joke all rolled into one.
Even though Im a hippie, he adds, I do my homework.
