Comedy Nights Hosted by Chuck Roy
Chuck Roy got big laughs at the semi-finals of NBC's Last Comic Standing and as the host for Breck’s spring comedy series, he’ll do the same here in town.

• Wednesday, March 16 at Motherloaded Tavern with Greg Baumhauer: Greg Baumhauer’s aggressive, no-holds-barred style of stand-up sends audiences doubling over in laughter. Not for the easily offended.
• Thursday, March 24 at Base 9 Bar at Beaver Run with Nathan Lund and Andrew Overdahl: Lund starts the party and Overdahl headlines with his smart and cynical brand of comedy.
• Thursday, March 31 at Three20South with Ben Roy: Roy is one of the fastest up-and-coming comics the Denver comedy scene has to offer. Think fast-paced, witty and opinionated humor.

• Wednesday, March 23 at Liquid Lounge: Get registered to win an indoor flying adventure for 12 people from SkyVenture in Denver, a helmet from Craniologie or a pair of Crescent Moon Snowshoes from Coors Tap the Rockies.
