Northsiders Engaged in Sustainable Transformation (NEST) and The Comet are teaming up for a night of lighthearted comedy and fundraising with The Roast of Northside.
The Roast of Northside will feature a lineup of Northside comedians and neighbors, including headliner Geoff Tate, Shawn Braley, Mark Chalifoux, Bridget Denman, John Hays, Jon Holmes, Wayne Memmott, Gretchen Schultz and Karinne Turnbow, as they rib and celebrate the weird and wonderful charms of the neighborhood. The event’s happening Friday, Nov. 17 from 6-11 p.m., with two ticketed shows at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Tickets are $20 online or $25 at the door.
The Comet will also have a Raffle Bench, inspired by Northside’s love of free and traded things, where people can drop off cool items (preferably smaller than a microwave, say organizers) ahead of the show. Those items will be raffled off during the event.
All the proceeds from the raffle and roast ticket sales will go toward NEST’s community development initiatives and mission to make the neighborhood a vibrant and sustainable place. The Comet is also donating proceeds from its drink specials and roving cowboy shots to NEST.
Roast tickets can be purchased online here. The Comet is located at 4579 Hamilton Ave. in Northside.
