Tokyo Roast Battle Obon

Hide from the infernal August weather at the impeccably air-conditioned Tokyo Comedy Bar, where a cast of highly capable comedians will be bringing a different kind of heat for what’s always one of Tokyo’s hardest-hitting English-language comedy nights. The Obon edition of Tokyo Roast Battle features an all-Japanese title match between Yuki Nivez and Jiro Matahira, plus four other bouts of verbal violence. Watch the capital’s greatest Roast Battlers compete for the chance to qualify for the World Championships in the last battle before what’s sure to be an epic showdown at the Tokyo International Comedy Festival in September.
