In Japan, there is a popular style of comedy known as batsu game (罰ゲーム). In it, comedians compete against each other in all kinds of challenges and suffer hilarious punishments if they fail!
Watch four American comedy warriors face off in challenges as they battle for comedic glory and honor in this Japanese comedy style. Those who win avoid comedic consequences, while those who lose are subjected to electric shocks, paintballs, a giant egg-smashing chicken, and many more jaw-dropping punishments!
BATSU! brings the best improv comics together in this head-to-head battle. Only one winner can come out on top. Who will have the honor of striking the “Gong of Punishment?”
Enjoy a Japanese-inspired menu, designed to complement the bold, immersive spirit of the show and complete the BATSU! experience.
