Bodybuilding comic can lift your spirits

Published 3:48 pm Monday, April 27, 2009

Charles Dorby just may be the strongest comedian you will ever see.

Dorby, who will appear in Arlington on Friday, bills himself as the only stand-up comic who is also a competitive body builder.

Dorby uses his buff physique to make some jokes, but doesn’t limit himself to gym humor. Other bits touch upon the way men and women act when they’re drunk, and the difference between boyfriends and husbands.

Dorby plans to perform at 8 p.m. Friday, at the Smokey Point El Gitano restaurant, 3528 168th St. NE, Arlington. Tickets are $12 and can be purchased in advance at www.brownpapertickets.com.
