About the show:

Boast in Show, the hilariously uplifting comedy showdown where comedians battle with compliments instead of insults. Created by comedian Carl Carzana, and produced by comedian and producer Dawn Williams, this one-of-a-kind show has taken the comedy scene by storm, earning the Chortle Award for Best Live Comedy Format in the South East 2025.

Unlike traditional roast battles, Boast in Show flips the script. Challengers face off using elaborate compliments, grand gestures, and creative "boasts" to celebrate their opponent. From heartfelt poems and original songs to extravagant gifts - even a national day officially registered in a contestant's name(!); Contestants go to extreme lengths to outshine each other with kindness and win the hearts (and high scores) of the panel of expert judges. The only rule? Anything goes - apart from hurting each other's feelings!
