Big Beast Stand-up Comedy returns to the Rod & Gun in Parksville at 8 p.m. on March 5.
Winging in from Toronto, comedian Rob Ross will work a crowd with lighting quick wit and his dark and hilariously crafted jokes, according to a news release.
“Holy cow we bagged a real Canadian Big Beast this time,” the release read. “Rob Ross is a journeyman comic with his toes in all pools comedy. From show running, writing, acting, Rob’s credits read longer than the ingredients on my Pizza Rolls. But when he really shines is with a stand-up microphone in his hand.”
With his lightning quick wit strikes, followed by rolling thunderous laughter that engulfs any venue that can hold him, Ross is equally deft at delivering his dangerous material and involving the crowd to their delight.
