A VERY DUMB IDEA / ROAST-STYLE COMPLIMENT CONTEST.
Created almost a decade ago and hosted by Kyle Ayers, comedians compete to see who can compliment one another in this showdown of sweetness, this clash of consideration, this barrage of benevolence. Playing off of the idea of roasts, Boast Rattle has two comedians go head-to-head, delivering alternating blows of the nicest order. Two rounds. One lucky crowd member who gets some on-the-spot boasting. One Champion of Charity, Master of Magnanimity.
Boast Rattle has been featured in the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal, The Kennedy Center in DC, New York Comedy Festival, SF Sketchfest, Moontower Comedy Festival, and more. It has traveled coast to coast, and featured Andy Kindler, Martha Kelly, Eugene Mirman, Aparna Nancherla, Jo Firestone, Scott Adsit, John Early, Amy Miller, Nikki Glaser, Kate Berlant, Janelle James, and more.

Hosts, Colton Dowling and Dylan Carlino bring the world of SOME OF THIS IS BAD, a comedy podcast, to the stage. This is not two people sitting and talking, this is a chaotic tornado of segments, shit talking, and some bullying too…probably. Just two gay guys that have a weekly guest that they bring on the podcast to bully to the point of reverting back to middle school and ask them the infamous question “if you were gay, which one of us would you rather sleep with?”
Sam Tallent and Nathan Lund are Chubby Behemoth and Chubby Behemoth is the king of hell. Join them or be conscripted. That's a very dark way to describe this delightful duet of comedy and friendship, but everyone's gotta have an edge, right? Join Sam, Nathan and a couple of their best friends in comedy and life as they cover a meandering array of topics and—more importantly—just have a great ol' time.
Adam Cayton-Holland, Ben Roy, and Andrew Orvedahl (The Grawlix) better the world around them by offering advice, tackling self-help challenges, staging interventions and more.
For this very special live podcast, the boys and their special guests Laura Peek and Josh Gondelman will compete to see who can give the best advice to questions submitted by the audience!

Enjoy comedy the way it's intended. No holds barred, no punches pulled, and no f**ks given. Watch seasoned pros and future stars battle each other for supremacy. Good sets will be awarded, bad sets will be punished. Feelings will be hurt, fun will be had.
Comedy is at its best when it isn't scared to tell the truth. So let's stop pretending that the world is nice and fair, and help us celebrate each other by pointing out our differences and similarities that make us all amazing and utterly stupid.
Thick Skin may not be for everybody, but everyone should see it!
