The Comedy Roast!

The Comedy Roast! comes to Blackstock Market on Sunday 6 December, part of the Hot Water Comedy Club nights that run from the venue's spot at 17 Blackstock Street in Liverpool. It's a roast format, so the whole thing is built on comedians taking each other on rather than just doing their usual sets. Six competitors go head-to-head, trading the most brutal insults and darkest jokes they can come up with, with nothing off limits and offensive or raunchy material likely. Three judges decide who takes the night, and there's a special guest to be announced.

It's pitched at audiences who like their comedy closer to the knuckle, so if you're in the mood for something a bit more aggressive than a standard stand-up night, this is the one. The roast format means the jokes are aimed at the other comics on stage rather than the crowd, and the whole thing is a competition, which keeps it moving. The special guest is still to be announced, so that's one more name to look out for as the date gets closer.

The night is run by Hot Water Comedy, which bills itself as a night of sidesplitting comedy and is widely regarded as the UK's best comedy promoter, based right here in Liverpool. The Comedy Roast! is one of the nights they put on at the Hot Water Comedy Club inside Blackstock Market.

Doors open at 15:30, and the show starts at 17:00, running until 19:00. It's free to attend, with free tickets priced at £0.00, and a guaranteed entry available for £5.00.
