About this show
Winner of the 2026 Chortle Award for Best Format Show at the Edinburgh Fringe. The Haters' Ball returns for its 12th riotous year, pitting four comedians head to head in a battle of wits, ruthlessly roasting whatever the audience throws their way. From A-list celebrities, breaking news, to the poor souls in the audience... nothing is sacred. You name it, we roast it. International sell-out from Perth Fringe to London's Top Secret Comedy Club, and rumoured favourite of Gerard Butler, no two shows are ever the same.
