THE SHOW THAT ELEVATES SMACK TALK TO AN ART FORM!
Join us for Roast Battle UK, where two comedians face off in a hilarious showdown of quick wit and clever insults. Each comic gets five jokes to roast their opponent, who can then fire back with spontaneous rebuttals. A panel of daring judges will ultimately decide who comes out on top.
“Roast Battle undeniably delivers on its promises, showcasing a no-holds-barred competition filled with comedic prowess, bold put-downs, and lightning-fast comebacks!” ★★★★★ BROADWAY BABY
Next, on Sunday, December 22nd, Ali Woods will be headlining at The Purple Turtle!

About Ali Woods
Ali Woods is a dynamic half-English, half-Scottish comedian, podcaster, and content creator. Fresh from a sold-out performance at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, Ali offers a relatable blend of the ‘everyman’ and the ‘modern man.’ His sensitivity and interest in men’s mental health shape a fresh perspective on contemporary male culture that informs much of his comedy.
Ali’s performances blend heart and humor, touching on themes like football, the environment, and various social issues close to him. He won the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year in 2020 and has been featured on BBC Radio 4, TalkRadio, and TalkSport. He also hosts the podcast “All I Do Is Fail,” and his comedic sketches under the handle u/aliwoodsgigs have garnered millions of views, earning spots on LadBible and Buzzfeed UK. Many fans first discovered him while he was supporting Russell Kane on tour in 2022.
“In a world of wannabes, Woods is the real deal.” — Evening Standard
“A brilliantly witty, funny, and relatable comedy gig delivered flawlessly by a new comedian.” — Everything Theatre
“Expect to see big things from this rising star!”
