Hotel Options

The final battle before RoastFest 2025 at the Tokyo International Comedy Festival, this event features a main card and four undercards of vicious jokes, insults, and one-upmanship.

What to expect

Tokyo Roast Battle has built a name for itself for over-the-top, outrageous, and in-your-face verbal violence, and this event is no different. The title card features Tokyo locals Yuki Nivez and the Wonderboy Jiro Matahira battling it out for a chance to qualify for the World Championships.

Before the main event, the night will feature four undercards of local and international roast battlers warming up the stage in a brutal night of sharp wits and no-holds-barred take downs.
