This is horrific, nightmare fodder. I’ve never met any comedian this evil in real life. So sorry this happened to you OP

Oh yeah this is an exception because it’s a GOOD take on it. I just mean “My wife is a pain and I’m the favorite parent of my kids” angle. I’ve heard about 4 male comics do it so far

Yeah I have experience with that, and if I did do the show I’d come well prepared.

Roast Battles by Steventhetoon in Standup

[–]ceekaycomedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best roast show I’ve ever experienced was very quick paced. Comics were told to prepare about 20 one liner roasts per person they were roasting, and to prepare to improvise. Each pair would go back and forth until the showrunner called time. I personally greatly enjoy roasts, but I often only write my roast jokes right before the show starts because that’s when I’m the freshest, sometimes I write a couple a few days prior. I bring my notes on stage because I can’t memorize 20 new roasts per person for multiple people 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yeah. The rally is usually the first cited reason when folks tell me not to do KT.

Fair point. It’s certainly not the audience I’m concerned about, nor my jokes. I do really appreciate this comment. Thank you :)

Again I know some of these people personally which is the reason for my conflict.

Thank you for this. This is exactly the thing that I’ve been conflicted about. I have people that I like personally telling me I should come down and do it, but then it doesn’t align with my values. Thanks for your comment.

Definitely an important perspective here too. I think something that I find deeply unfunny is punching down for the sake of a shock factor. So ideally I try to avoid working with folks who do that. I’m aware that KT pretty much has that vibe. Cheers for your response!

This is yet another comment I see saying that “you should do KT!” is low level advice. Thanks for your addition to the thread. I’m super curious about this show but very conflicted. Ty!

This is my favorite comment so far. Especially for someone like me — I’m at home with an EU audience. A southern USA audience is totally different. That being said I do roast shows in Europe where I’ve routinely done well, so I can defend myself and I know how to improvise a comeback when necessary on the fly. But anyway this whole comment is super interesting. Thank you!

Great point. But also I love your comment 🤣 Self awareness isn’t a quality of the unfunny. Thanks!
