Reading is about more than following a narrative or learning facts; it can also be a profound shared experience that culminates in a better understanding of ourselves and each other. In that spirit, welcome to the Westword Book Club, a weekly feature celebrating the books that inspire Denver artists.
Comedian and Westword cover boy Ben Roy is about as widely known as a comedian can get in Denver. In addition to performing at this weekend's High Plains Comedy Festival, Roy will be headlining a show at the downtown Comedy Works at 7 p.m. on August 25. We recently caught up with Ben to discuss his politics, being a comedy outsider, his motorcycle, his non-fictional reading habits and how he's like Bill Cosby.
