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.
