A roast comedy night hosted by Uncle Lazer, featuring comedians Kim Congdon and David Lucas, celebrating Heidi's birthday.
The Roast of Heidi takes over The Yellow Rose on Wednesday, October 14, starting at 7 PM. It's a birthday celebration for Heidi, but instead of the usual tributes and warm memories, she's getting the full roast treatment. Her closest friends and family are gathering to send her up with a comedy set built on jokes at her expense rather than a conventional birthday toast.
Uncle Lazer is hosting the night, and he's bringing in Kim Congdon and David Lucas to help lead the charge. If you know their work, you have a good idea of the energy they bring to a room. Congdon has built a name for herself around sharp, observational comedy, and Lucas is known for a more aggressive, high-energy style that fits right in with a roast format. Between the two of them and Lazer running the show, the night is built on the kind of comedy that doesn't pull punches.
The whole thing is set up as a birthday party, so it's less of a standard comedy club night and more of a celebration centered around one person. The roast format means the jokes are directed at Heidi, and the room is filled with the people who know her best. It's the kind of night where the laughter comes from the shared history in the room, and the guest of honor is the one taking all the heat.
