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.
