If you aren’t familiar with Ben Roy, he’s been taking comedy audiences by storm since 2004, bringing an unparalleled energy and unique voice to the stage. Often compared to Lewis Black or Bill Hicks due to his passionate, ranting approach, Roy has a style that is definitively his own.

Happy reggae Sunday! Just a little PSA for our friends coming out to @chalwaroots today (7/26), our back parking lot may be a bit congested/have some disturbances as our stage crew begins building this big old beauty! The lot will still be open, it might just be a little busy and/or cramped!
Friendly reminder to all of our reggae lovers that tickets for the legendary @steelpulseofficial show are STILL available! Grab your tix through the link in our bio!
