ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Drew and Shalaka break down a veteran Roast Battle UK clash between Lee Hudson and Jonathan Kogan.
Lee brings clean, efficient, professional joke writing. Jonathan brings darker ideas, strong concepts and a slightly chaotic stage presence. The result is a 4-0 win for Lee, but Drew and Shalaka ask whether it was really that one-sided, why some clever jokes do not fully land, and how consistency can beat individual big swings.
