Not for The Sensitive

lgreatoreau

Superb comedy show from the U.S., from the Comedy Central network.
hosted by Jeff Ross, who takes up as the position of head Judge, comedians known and unknown, face each other and let the the roasting begin. It can be brutal,, which would greatly offend some people but not a heartless cynic like me. I can't get enough of the show after discovering when trying to find more of the Comedy Central Roasts to watch, which I adore. I would say that some of the Roast Battles are more brutal than the Celebrity Roasts.

Anyway, the battles are compared by the lovely Brian Moses and Jeff, as Head Judge, is helped by a different Celebrity guest panel each show.
The show is also the home of THE WAVE, a hybrid sketch/prop comedy troupe, who pop up on stage during the roast battle, either if the comedians roast has gone well or sucked. They do some remarkably quick costume changes and are lead by the brilliant and utterly gorgeous Jamar Neighbors.

I hope there is a third season and it doesn't get cut short like Jeff Ross' other show 'The Burn'.

score 10/10
