This Is How I Roll is about being an outsider, an underdog, and an athlete. It is a story about having a passion for something most people just don’t understand and doing it anyway, in spite of the obstacles, the injuries, and even occasional ridicule. It also happens to be about men, with names like Dr. Spankenstein and Justice Feelgood Marshall, on roller skates.

This Is How I Roll follows the story of a group of men who, in some ways, just want to be considered one of the girls. Roller derby has become an increasingly popular sport since its DIY and punk rock infused rebirth in 2001. With over 25,000 participants in over 700 leagues in almost 30 countries, female skaters encompass 98% of the sport. This is the story of the other 2%.

The Burlesque Assassins. Beautiful, deadly, and a vital weapon in the war on communism that threatens the free world. Set in the 1950s, this tale of cold war espionage and intrigue follows Johnny Valentine, Katarina Molotov, and a trio of sexy super-spies as they seduce their way within killing distance of a trio of villainy hell bent on global domination. WITNESS the fatal fan dance of Koko La Douce! BEHOLD the brutal boa striptease of Bombshell Belle! SEE Bourbon Sue, a bad girl with a taste for booze, boys and Rock & Roll. Experience the carnage and the cleavage as the enemies of The Burlesque Assassins discover that when it comes to these women, LOOKS CAN KILL!

The director of Burlesque Assassins, Jonathan Joffe, will be in attendance!

Tickets available from all Chinook City members.
