Dave Lynn is to be roasted by his peers at a Comedy Roast in Charles Street on May 13.
For those who have never been to a Comedy Roast before, it is an event in which an individual is subjected to a public presentation of comedic insults, praise, outlandish true and untrue stories, and heartwarming tributes as a mock counter to a toast. Hopefully the roastee takes the jokes in good humour and not as serious criticism or insult, and it is seen by some as a great honour to be roasted.
The victim is surrounded by their friends, fans, and well-wishers, who can all receive some of the same treatment as well during the course of the evening.
The party and presentation itself are both referred to as a roast. The host of the event is called the roastmaster. Anyone who is honored in such a way is said to have been roasted.
Dave Lynn’s roast is a fundraiser for THT South, Lola Lasange will be the toastmaster and the roasters are Maisie Trollette, Rose Garden, Michael Topping and Miss Jason.
The show starts at 9.30pm SHARP! Entrance is free, but Lola will be asking for donations throughout the night. You can reserve tables at a cost of £5 per person. All money goes to THT. Telephone Charles Street on 01273 624091 to reserve your table.
There are 50% off all drinks from 5pm – 9pm (some limitations apply) and 2 for 1 cocktails from 6pm until close.
