Google Mark Henely and Bobby SheehanAbout Mark Henely and Bobby Sheehan
Bobby Sheehan and Mark Henely are veterans of the New York City Roast Battle Scene. Their time in the insult trenches has shaped them in opposite ways: Bobby has become a masochist who loves to be roasted, while Mark has grown soft and crumbles at the lightest insult — he can only be praised. Roast Me! Praise Me! gives audiences the opportunity to deliver exactly what each performer craves. The show runs for 60 minutes at Flight Club and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A brilliantly simple premise — one comedian who thrives on insults, one who can only take compliments — and the audience holds the power. Interactive, unpredictable and very funny.
