Roasting session
There will be a Roasting Session where comedians will field questions, comments and yes, even heckling from the audience, all with their wits.
Joke Bucket Challenge There will be a Joke Bucket Challenge where the audience members write down topics and put into a bucket from which comedians draw the topics on stage and perform comedy based on those topics. The audience cheers on the ones doing well, and boos down those who fumble.
