Independent Journalism in Denver Needs You
We need to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Comedy roasts are full of cruelty, irreverence and line-crossing, but at their heart, they’re meant to show sincere love for the guest of honor. In the case of POTroast, taking place tonight at Comedy Works South, the object of deep affection is marijuana — which will get a good grilling.
“Whenever I have a comedian in from out of town and I take him out for a smoke, I think that’s when they see the real Denver,” says local comic Chuck Roy, who will emcee the event. “We’re in the heart of downtown, and the comedians have moved the green room to a very scenic location. We don’t just go around the corner to get a smoke in. We go to the bike path, which is a killer spot. Even the people who don’t smoke come and hang out, and we just enjoy the moment. It reminds me that I moved to Denver for a certain life-style.”
POTroast, featuring Andrew Orvedahl, Roger Rittenhouse, Sam Tallent and Josh Blue, begins at 7:30 p.m.; tickets for the eighteen-and-over evening are $15. Comedy Works South is at 5345 Landmark Place in Greenwood Village. For more information, visit www.comedyworks.com.
