Brave Brands Are Invited to Sign up for a Brutal (but Insightful) Roasting by Comedians

Agency Humanaut, known for satire and trope busting, based its new program on celebrity roasts

Don't miss ADWEEK House at Cannes, June 16-19. Join us as we celebrate our 45th anniversary and explore the industry's now and next. RSVP.

Going back decades, Hollywood’s most famous stars have subjected themselves to a public grilling where their so-called friends pick them apart for a few hours on national television.

These spectacles are called roasts, and depending on your sense of humor, they can be a blast. Not for the “honored guest,” of course, but for the bloodthirsty crowd gathered to do the dissection and those watching it all unfold.

Agency Humanaut has taken a page from this legendarily cutthroat event by partnering with stand-up comedians in New York and around the country who have been thrown out of work by the Covid-19 pandemic and related club closures.

But the subject under their microscope won’t be Kanye West or Dwayne Johnson—it’ll be your brand.
