      The Lower Mainland’s about to get snake-bit.

      Any casual fan of all-star wrestling is familiar with the name Jake “The Snake” Roberts. The six-foot-six, 250-pound Roberts—who rassled the likes of André the Giant, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, and “Ravishing” Rick Rude in the World Wrestling Federation—gained the upper hand with the addition of his pet python, Damien. At age 60, his scrapping days are behind him, but he’s got tons of stories to tell.

      The inventor of the DDT move and subject of the 2015 documentary The Resurrection of Jake the Snake Roberts is bringing his Unspoken Word tour to Yuk Yuk’s on Cambie on Monday (November 16) and Lafflines in New West next Thursday (November 19), in which he’ll regale audiences with tales from the road and pranks he played on his opponents. The evening is hosted by the hilarious Matt Billon.
