Get ready to get roasted! What’s better than the head judge of Roast Battle bringing the heat to an audience by himself? That would be when “The Roastmaster General” brings an equally hard-hitting comedian with him to destroy those in attendance.
The Roastmaster is Jeff Ross, pictured, a man who has made his career off burning crowds on the spot with his verbal repartee.
His cohort in this expedition this time is Dave Attell, who, while famous in the world of stand-up comedy, doesn’t get nearly enough recognition for his influence on the game.
Attell mixes a cutting style with absurdity, á la this line from his special Skanks for the Memories: “Remember when you’re young and you think your dad is Superman? And then you grow up and realize he’s just a drunk who wears a cape.”
That take-no-prisoners attitude can also be found in performances by Ross, who, literally, took no prisoners when he roasted a bunch of them in his special Jeff Ross Roasts Criminals: Live at Brazos County Jail.
Come to this Vegas show ready to laugh… probably at yourself.
The Mirage, 10 p.m. June 9, starting at $29 plus tax and fee, 16+. 702.792.7777
