Welcome to the Houston Roast Run & Comedy Show, where endurance meets embarrassment and punchlines come with a side of lactic acid.
This one-of-a-kind event features a 5K(ish) on the scenic Buffalo Bayou Trails… but with a twist. Along the course, you’ll be heckled (err, motivated) by professional comedians stationed throughout the route, armed with microphones and zero chill. They’ll be roasting your stride, your outfit, and probably your life choices, all in good fun. (Mostly.)
After you've limped through the finish line and rebuilt your ego, stick around for a post-race comedy show featuring three of Houston’s top comedians. Prefer to skip the cardio and go straight to the comedy? You can do that too—comedy show-only tickets are available.
