Brett Forte hosts and Brett Forte roasts. It’s Vol. 42 of Roast Battles where current champion Uncle Hack defends his title for a third consecutive time. The challenger is CBC's darling, Charles Haycock, but this ain't CBC. Infact, this show is the reason Brett Forte is banned from that network and it will most likely lead to Charles getting banned as well.   6 different comedians have a month to prepare their most clever (and hurtful) jokes and the audience decides who hurt who more. There are 5 Roast Battle rounds in total and roughly 20 min of straight standup comedy.  View Full Bio
