Welcome to The Washington Roast—the viral hit comedy show where your favorite (and least favorite) politicians get scorched in savage, no-holds-barred roast battles.  For over five years, this politically incorrect spectacle has brought together top local comedians to portray real-life political figures—from Trump to Kamala, AOC to MTG, Bernie to Biden—and tear into each other with jokes so wrong they just might be right.

No one is safe. No side is spared. And every insult is bipartisan.

Hosted by Tim Kardashian—dubbed as DC’s roast master by Timeout —this is not your average political satire. The Washington Roast blends sharp writing, savage roasts, and a fully interactive format where the audience becomes part of the chaos. From the unfiltered townhall segment to live voting that determines which comedians get re-elected or politically canceled, The Washington Roast puts the power (and the punchlines) in your hands.

As seen on NPR, FOX, CBS, PBS, NBC, France TV, UK’s Channel 4 and Prime Video.

“The show was built for people looking to disconnect, get offline, and share some laughs over the absurdity of the hyper-polarized realities of living in America” says Tim Kardashian, the show’s creator and host.

“After our very first show in DC, a lobbyist in the audience approached me and said ‘This is the tonic this city needs.’ I’ve never looked back after that moment.”

After creating a cult following in DC and receiving media praise the show has expanded to new markets including Broadway. Lauded by liberal and conservative audiences alike the cast has succeeded in creating a rare nonpartisan space for laughter.

Featuring: Dee Ahmed, Laura Arago, Bria Beddoe, Todd Fleming, Elizabeth Booker Houston, Tim Kardashian, Ashley Pontius, Vito Prime, Rashee Raj, Rose Vineshank, Jon Yeager.*
