It’s comedy’s closed thing to a sport – comedians battle it out with the most brutal jokes imaginable. Hosted by Jimmy Carr.

What Is Roast Battle? This four-night televised roast-off features Jeff Ross, host Brian Moses and a panel of celebrity judges. The comics will compete onstage while adhering to the Roast Battle rules: original material only, no physical contact, and every battle ends with a hug. In this competition, 16 comedians will enter the ring, but only one will emerge as this year’s Roast Battle Champion.
