Jeff Ross, host of Comedy Central’s The Burn, is something of an anachronism. An old-school insult comic in the vein of Don Rickles and Rodney Dangerfield, Ross has done more than any comedian of our era to preserve the tradition of the New York Friars Club roasts and, not surprisingly, has become a staple of the Comedy Central roast shows.
Ross has also made numerous television appearances, riffing quick-witted insults on everything from Adult Swim’s alt-comedy gem Childrens Hospital to ABC’s Dancing With the Stars, and he’ll have plenty of earnest, dreadlocked white dudes to mock tonight at the Boulder Theater – though a recent appearance on Doug Benson’s Getting Doug With High would suggest that Ross is equally interested in roasting our favorite cash crop.
The show starts tonight at 8 p.m. at the Boulder Theater, 2032 14th Street in Boulder; for tickets, $27 to $40, go to bouldertheater.com.
