ROASTGIVING
If you’re ready for a little chaos with your comedy, ROASTGIVING is the Thanksgiving tradition you never knew you needed. Tulsa’s sharpest comedians go head-to-head in a roast battle tournament where the burns are savage, the stakes are ridiculous, and the humiliation is legendary. You’ll see everything from roast battles to a live trash-talking Thanksgiving Turkey — plus high-stakes rounds like the infamous Pie in the Face Battle. It’s unhinged, outrageous, and an absolute must-see.
📅 Date: Wednesday, Nov. 26
⏰ Showtime: 7:30 PM (arrive at 6:30 PM)
📍 Location: Loony Bin Comedy Club, 6808 S Memorial Dr Ste. 234, Tulsa, OK

Bring nonperishable food, toys, or pet supplies to support local families and animals, then stick around for DoubleShot coffee, cocoa, blueberry pancakes, and a raffle for everyone who finishes.
