“Oh my god.”

Bob Belcher, main character, burger chef and patriarch of the Belcher family on the Emmy Award-winning show Bob’s Burgers, is perfect roasting material. Fans of the show might be able to think of a lot of things to make fun of Bob for: his struggling restaurant, his body odor (“You smell like a stevedore’s shorts. You smell like failure, like stinky failure farts.”), his weird body, his male pattern baldness yet copious amounts of hair elsewhere, etc. But who better to point all these things out than the characters of the show?

Commonwealth Sanctuary, Northern Kentucky’s only comedy club and dedicated listening room, will host “The Roast of Bob Belcher,” starring comedians as the adult characters on the show. Dan Brady will take on the role of Bob, while Cece Laird plays his wife, Linda.

Other characters taking part in the roast include Bob’s friend Teddy (Cavin Eggleston), neighbor Mort (Nolan Kreeger), sister-in-law Gayle (Lena Beamish), nemesis and overzealous health inspector Hugo (Matthew Zane), Mike the mailman (Phil Pointer) and biker gang member and friend/acquaintance Critter (Jake Doran).

“The Roast of Bob Belcher” is happening Thursday, Jan. 25 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 and can be bought here.

Commonwealth Sanctuary, 522 Fifth Ave., Dayton, Ky. More info: commonwealthsanctuary.com.

Things to Do in Cincinnati When It's Cold AF Outside

The rink has a timed reservation system that allows up to 70 people to skate at a time.

Curling lane rentals are available every weekend from 8-10 p.m. Fountain Square also has its ice rink out through Feb. 19.

Dine Al Fresco While Staying Warm at These Restaurants and BarsJust because the mercury's dropping doesn't mean you have to move the party inside. There are a number of restaurants, bars and breweries in the Queen City offering ways to eat, drink and stay warm on their patios and rooftops this winter, whether you're looking for an igloo to cozy up in with your friends and family or if you want to gather 'round a firepit with other winter revelers. You can find a list of places where you can eat, drink and be cozy outside this winter in the link above.

Visitors can also glide downhill in snow tubes, and when it’s time to warm up, visit the Lodge for a snack and hot beverage.

Watch the Penguin Parade at the Cincinnati Zoo3400 Vine St., AvondalePenguin Days at the Cincinnati Zoo offers discounted admission from now until March 8.

The first parade will be Saturday, Jan. 13 and the final will be Sunday, Feb. 25.
