About Roast Battle Chicago
Roast Battle Chicago produces live roast comedy shows where two comedians face off in an insult-driven battle, writing and performing new jokes for each event. A panel of surprise guest judges participates in the format, while fresh lineups bring different comics to the stage. The program also presents a speakeasy-style stand-up showcase with a live piano player at The Lincoln Lodge. Regular shows take place at Zanies Chicago on first and third Thursdays, with monthly events at Zanies Rosemont. Additional battles and shows are held at The Lincoln Lodge in Chicago. The organization also offers full episodes, selected battles, and behind-the-scenes content through YouTube and Patreon. Comedians can sign up to participate.
