Roast Battle(2018)

Roast Battle is a British comedy series where comedians face off in sharp-tongued insult competitions hosted by Jimmy Carr. Created by American comedians Jeff Ross and Brian Moses, the show adapts their earlier Comedy Central format into a UK version broadcast on Comedy Central. Contestants trade witty barbs and personal jabs in rapid-fire rounds, with Carr steering the action from the sidelines. The format draws on roast comedy traditions, where comedians target each other with scripted insults designed for laughs rather than genuine malice. Roast Battle delivers fast-paced humor for audiences who enjoy clever wordplay and comedic timing. The series brings together established and rising UK comedians for battles that test their improvisational skills and comedic chemistry.
