What Is a Roast Battle?

A Roast Battle is stand-up comedy's most savage format.

Two comedians step into the spotlight and go joke-for-joke, roasting each other over multiple rounds. Every insult is written, every laugh is earned, and everything stays on stage. A panel of judges scores each battle, the audience picks favourites, and only one comic walks away as Wellington Roast Battle Champion.
