Best bets this weekend in and around Durango

Best bets this weekend include Comedy Warriors and the Four States Custom and Classic Bike Show.

Skippy and the Comedy Warriors will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College.

Actor Marc Price, best known as Skippy from the hit TV series “Family Ties,” will team up with military veterans Joe Kashnow and Bobby Henline for a night of stand-up comedy. Comedy Warriors is part of “Healing Through Humor,” America’s wounded warriors regaining their enthusiasm for life through comedy while raising awareness of the difficulties facing returning veterans.

Bobby Henline’s Humvee was hit by a roadside bomb just north of Baghdad on April 7, 2007. He was the only survivor but was burned over more than 38% of his body and his left hand was eventually amputated.

Joe Kashnow was wounded by a road-side bomb. His injury led to numerous surgeries and, eventually, the amputation of his right leg below the knee.

These Comedy Warriors candidly share their poignant life stories, and the role that stand-up comedy plays in their rehabilitation. While the subject is serious, the show is humorous and light-hearted. The show is recommended for ages 18 and older.

Free tickets are available for veterans with a military ID. Tickets are $18-$125, available online at https://bit.ly/2M3XyYv, by phone at 247-7657 and at the Ticket Office inside the Durango Welcome Center at Eighth Street and Main Avenue.
