Roast Battle Chicago

Roast Battle Chicago brings a lineup of local comedians to Zanies for an evening of competitive insult comedy. This is a chance to see some familiar faces from the Chicago circuit go head-to-head, with quick wit and sharp jabs being the main event. It's a different energy than a typical stand-up set, focusing on direct, often brutal, humor. The Roast Battle Chicago event takes place on Thursday, December 17, 2026, at Zanies Comedy Club in Chicago. This intimate club setting is well-suited for the format, putting the audience close to the action. It's generally a good night out for those who appreciate unvarnished comedy and a bit of theatrical conflict.
