Hot Pepper Roast Battle @ Cobb's Corner!

Where High Stakes Meet High Scovilles

Get ready for the most agonizingly hilarious night in the D! Hot Pepper Roast Battle isn’t just a comedy show; it’s a brutal test of endurance, wit, and gastrointestinal fortitude. Hosted at the legendary Cobb’s Corner in Detroit, we’re bringing together the city’s sharpest comics to trade barbs while their internal organs scream for mercy.

The rules are simple, but the execution is painful. Two comics go head-to-head in a classic roast battle format, but there’s a spicy catch: Before every round, the competitors must consume a hot pepper.

As the Scoville units climb, the filters drop. Can they deliver a killer punchline while their tongue is vibrating? Or will they choke on their own words (and the capsaicin)?

Located in the heart of the Cass Corridor, Cobb’s Corner provides the perfect intimate, gritty atmosphere for a night of comedic combat. With its deep roots in Detroit’s jazz and arts scene, it’s the ideal spot to witness local legends and rising stars push themselves to the absolute limit.

• Unfiltered Comedy: No topic is off-limits when the brain is distracted by 2 million Scoville units.
• The "Milk Station": Watch as your favorite local comics desperately eye the dairy between rounds.
• Audience Participation: You judge the winners! Who kept their cool? Who went down in flames?
• A Full Bar: You’re going to need a cold drink just to watch this.
