Forget the polite dinner party conversation—the Desi Roast Battle is bringing the chaos of a family WhatsApp group to the stage at Comedy Bar. This is a roast show that weaponizes every cultural stereotype, from regional rivalries to the classic "beta, in our days..." speeches.

What to Expect Expect savage burns and brutal comebacks from comedians seen on JFL, Netflix, and Crave. The show pits North India against South India, Delhi against Mumbai, and India against Pakistan in a hilarious, unhinged cultural exchange. It’s a night of unfiltered, relatable comedy that hits home if you've ever had to defend your state's food or explain your parents' sacrifices. Note that the content will be a mix of Hindi, Hinglish, and English.
