Do you love a good laugh? How about when the joke is on you?
Roast Battle Canada is a Canadian television comedy series. it premiered on CTV Comedy Channel in October 2021 as an adaptation of the American series Jeff Ross Presents Roast Battle. The series presents battles in which pairs of comedians take turns roasting each other on stage, before a panel of judges who decides the winner of each battle.
The judges for the series are Russell Peters, Sabrina Jalees and K. Trevor Wilson, with Ennis Esmer serving as host of the series.
The first episode, featuring comedians Daniel Woodrow, Keith Pedro, Brittany Lyseng and Mike Rita, received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for best performance in a variety or sketch comedy program or series at the 10th Canadian Screen Awards in 2022. The second season premiere, featuring Salma Hindy, Sophie Buddle, Jean Paul and Ron Josol, was nominated in the same category at the 11th Canadian Screen Awards (CSA)) in 2023.
On the CSA red carpet, I caught up with Canadian Stand-up Comedian, Salma Hindy and Executive Producer, Shane Corkery Executive Producer to talk about the show, the best & worst aspects of roasting, and when a joke goes too far.
