Get ready for a raucous night of comedy, charity and chaos! Revolver and Guitar World are proud to announce the 2nd annual Rock & Roll Roast comedy series with honoree Dee Snider. The exclusive event, sponsored by Epiphone and Monster Energy Drink, will take place at The Grove in Anaheim, California on Thursday, January 24, 2013 and will air live on AXS TV at Midnight ET / 9 PM PT; a portion of all proceeds will benefit MusiCares®, a nonprofit organization of The Recording Academy® that provides emergency financial assistance and addiction recovery resources to music people in need. Snider was recently named one of the 100 greatest living rock stars by Revolver Magazine.

Writer, actor, comic, producer and Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider has taken on yet another surprising project in the entertainment industry: Puppet Shakespeare. The rocker has joined the team for the Puppet Shakespeare Players’ upcoming production, Puppet Romeo & Juliet, set to open at American Globe Theatre in January.

Snider was introduced to the Puppet Shakespeare Players through his son, Shane, who was cast as Guildenstern in Puppet Hamlet this past July. Described as “Shakespeare meets Avenue Q,” Puppet Hamlet combined the First Folio technique with comic characters, resulting in a production that remained faithful to Shakespeare’s language while giving the tragedy a modern comedic twist.

Join Dee for two very special performances this holiday season performing showtunes and Christmas songs like you’ve never heard them before!
