How does hosting your own roast work?

Step 1: Pick your Lineup

• First and most importantly your “Guest of Honor”

• Then pick your “Host” this is usually a spouse or the next closest person to your guest of honor. They will introduce everyone on the lineup during showtime.

• Then pick 4-6 people close to the guest of honor who hopefully know each other well enough to make fun of.

• We’ll send each person in your lineup a questionnaire in which they’ll answer questions about themselves, the guest of honor, and each other. It is important that you answer as many questions as you can!

Step 2: Meet with DTF Comedy

• After you’ve filled out the questionnaire, we’ll have your designated Point of Contact interview your team as a group for 1-2 hours, and then individually for an hour, learning all of the nitty-gritty details about your relationships.

• We’ll need as much info as we can for the next step. SO BE THOROUGH AND MEAN!

Step 3: Joke Writing

• Our team gets to work, writing 10-15 minutes of scandalously hilarious jokes on EACH person of the lineup. Saving, of course, the juciest of roasts for your guest of honor.

• We script out each of your acts to the letter so that you don’t feel unprepared. You can feel free to go off script, but say what we say, and you’ll look like you’ve been practicing stand-up comedy for years!

• If we have any questions, we’ll be sure to reach out to your group. We want to make sure these jokes have the authenticity of being written by you and your friends.

• We’ll work with each person on the lineup individually to go over their sets and make it as personalized as possible.

• We’ll not only script each set….but we’ll include call backs and throughlines throughout the entire performance, making it feel like an ACTUAL comedy central roast.

Step 4: Delivery Coaching

• We’ll meet with each person in your lineup for 90 minutes each and go over every joke. There is a lot of rhythm and nuance in the delivery of a joke - we want to make sure you NAIL IT!

• We’ll record this call and send it to you, so you can listen to it over and over again.

• Each person can continue to add on delivery coaching per person if they feel like they need more. It is $50 per hour.

Step 5: The SHOW

• You go give the greatest performance of your young life.

• The crowd will be in TEARS!

• You' will leave feeling like a pro stand up comedian

• If you’ve never experienced the thrill of telling a joke that makes a room erupt….prepare to be ADDICTED!
