roast battle
Comedic verbal sparring
A roast battle is a comedic competition where two performers take turns insulting each other, with a winner determined by audience reaction or judges.
The format draws from traditional roasts but adds direct confrontation—each comic attacks the other personally, aiming for the most devastating put-downs: They faced off in a roast battle at the comedy club.
The insults target appearance, career failures, personal history, or anything else that might land.
