Catch a glimpse of Roast Battle champion Mike Lawrence securing his championship in this final battle against Sarah Tiana while up at JFL Montreal for the special Roast Battle tournament.

Mike Lawrence is indeed the very first champion of the first Roast Battle tournament, presented by Roastmaster General Jeff Ross. His victory comes after beating a formidable final opponent in Sarah Tiana last night while up at JFL Montreal.
That trophy is a pretty fitting for Roast Battle, by the way. If you saw how Mike roasts throughout out this whole thing, you wouldn’t be surprised if he pulled off another championship run if Comedy Central opted to do another one.
From a pool of 16 comedians, Sarah Tiana, Earl Skakel, K. Trevor Wilson, and Mike Lawrence have emerged victorious and will face off on the final night of Jeff Ross Presents Roast Battle tonight at 10PM on Comedy Central.
Here’s a promo with highlights to catch you up.
This might be the most fun roast that Comedy Central has put on in recent memory.
Going burn-for-burn on the televised Roast Battle, tournament style over four nights from July 28-31 at 10PM on Comedy Central will be:
Jimmy Carr vs. Christi Chiello
Earl Skakel vs. Tom Ballard
Mark Normand vs. Tony Hinchcliffe
Steve Rannazzisi vs. Sam Morril
Ralphie May vs. Ms. Pat
Matthew Broussard vs. Mike Lawrence
Sarah Tiana vs. Chris Cubas
Olivia Grace vs. K. Trevor Wilson
Anthony Jeselnik, Jimmy Kimmel, Sarah Silverman and David Spade are all set to judge the contests next to Roastmaster General Jeff Ross along with Brian Moses officiating.
So, you might not want to miss out on this.
