The format

The industry's
most dangerous honor.

A professional roast of one of crypto's biggest names, staged as main program inside the industry's biggest rooms. Real comics. A real writers' room. One sacred rule.

  1. 0:00

    The cold open

    The room goes dark. The lockup hits the wall. The target takes the chair in front of everyone.

  2. 0:05

    The host

    The moderator sets the rules — there is one — and takes the first shots himself.

  3. 0:12

    The burns

    The dais works, one roaster at a time. Weeks of writers-room material, aimed at one chair.

  4. 0:45

    The rebuttal

    The roastee takes the microphone. Everyone who spoke is now a target.

  5. 0:58

    Who’s next?

    The final beat of every show: the next silhouette on the wall. The room films it voluntarily.

The protected segment

The Rebuttal

The roastee always gets the last word. Not sometimes — always. It's the format's payoff and its one sacred rule: you sit through the fire, and then the microphone is yours and everyone who spoke is a target. The roastee is the hero. That's the deal.

We only roast the ones we love.

Why it works

For the roastee

Being worth roasting is the honor. The whole industry watches you take it like a champion — and the last word is yours. Surviving it is a flex.

For the venue

The best-received session on the program, by the organizer's own account. A room that fills past capacity and a hallway that won't leave.

For the room

The one session nobody schedules against their own attendance. Everyone stays, every phone comes up, and the clips run for weeks.
