Can comedians keep a straight face when absolute chaos unfolds around them?
Kristen Toomey [Don't Tell Comedy, NBC, Just For Laughs] aims to explore this exact question.

BREAK! is a one-of-a-kind comedy competition where some of the funniest comics from across the country face their toughest challenge yet: don't laugh.

Each comedian performs a short set with one goal—to make the other comedians on the panel BREAK. Expect surprise gags, ridiculous bits, unexpected spoofs, and absolute comedic mayhem.
Anything can happen, and nothing is off-limits in the pursuit of cracking the competition.

Here's how it works:

  • Laugh once? Yellow card.
  • Laugh twice? Red card. You're out.
  • The last comedian standing earns the coveted title of "Toughest Nut to Crack."

Come watch top-tier comedians battle to keep it together in a show where the audience laughs, the comics try not to, and things inevitably spiral out of control.
