Erin Go Bragh! Aye and begorrah! Is cleasaí rómheasta é Bono! Three classic, well-known Irish sayings. Here’s a fourth, less known one: “Come to the Roster’s Roast Battle March 7th at 9 PM!”

Ten whole days prior to Saint Paddy’s Day, the Red Carpet Nightclub and yours truly, John Roster, are bringing you a truly wonderful night of entertainment. Because this year the 17th is on a Tuesday and who gets piss-drunk on green beer on a Tuesday? Good lord, maybe you? But if not you, & you wanna get your green-clad whiskey-drunk festive freak on a little early, come to the Main Stage on March 7th at 9 PM, with doors opening @ 8. I’d get presale tickets online. It’ll be worth your while, it’ll save you 5 whole dollars, big spender. Let me tell you exactly what your $10 (or $15 at the door) nets you:

A fantastic stand-up comedian (CM Jones) doing a feature set? Check.

Your headliner, Connor Hangsleben, who’s worked with Dan Harmon, Darrell Hammond, & Tim Dillon? Check!

A featured magician/sideshow act from Mr. Ryan Schepp that will dazzle you? Checkity-check.

And for the big event!

4 excellent Twin Cities comedians and battling it out with the weapon of savage insult on the battlefield of…stage? I lost the metaphor. 4 comics roast for a $125 prize? Check.

A panel of 3 well-honed comics as judges: Ira Ford, Erick Austin, and the incomparable Willy Olguin giving input? Oh you know it.

But here’s the kicker.

YOU, the audience, will ultimately decide by applause the winner of each round of roasting, and ultimately the winner of the cash prize.

AS IF THAT WERE ENOUGH!

Drink specials on Guinness and Jameson, raffles with special prizes, and MORE that you will have to see to believe.

So come on out March 7th! See less
