Arrive with an empty stomach and your dancing shoes on!

Take your full stomach and your day buzz and see Henry Rollins at The Boulder Theater. This jack-of-all-trades is an author, comedian, actor, musician, and all-around bada** who has taken his philosophies and opinions of the human experience and put them in his one-man show. To all the writers, thinkers, and people who are not easily offended, I can say personally speak to what an incredibly thought-provoking “show” Rollins puts on. Be ready to be enthralled by his enthusiasm, his manner of speaking, and his “devil may care” attitude. Henry Rollins does not disappoint.
