COMEDY KNOCKOUT

Comedy Knockout small logo


On each episode of Comedy Knockout, host Damien Lemon sends three comics into a battle of high stakes comedic gameplay. With points given based on audience applause, the comedians throw roast-like, rapid-fire jabs at their opponents. Each show ends with one comedian crowned champion, one eliminated and one forced to face the crowd and apologize for going down in shameful defeat.
