ROAST OF ANGRY PATRICK
9 p.m., Juanita’s. $10.
Besides featuring talent-starved hacks as guests of honor (Gene Simmons, Larry the Cable Guy), Comedy Central’s occasional roasts do have some redeeming values, especially if you catch a late-night broadcast and avoid the ritual agony of 57,000 bleeps. What better way to be celebrated than to have your dearest chums drop your drawers in front of a room full of people? So, in case you haven’t noticed, Juanita’s has been accommodating local and national comedy acts for quite some time, and this one has potential to burn. Not only is local comic and radio personality Angry Patrick due to suffer irreparable harm at the hands of his comic stable mate Michael “Doc” Davis, but it also marks Patrick’s arrival at 40, not always a laughing matter to the age-sensitive. After-party music by Stereo Down will keep the show going post-roast. Bring the marshmallows.
