Welcome to Beat the Gong, the comedy show where the audience decide the winner!
The Rules: Performers have 5 minutes to make you laugh.
The Risk: If the crowd lose patience or don't like them, the Gong ends the set instantly.
The Reward: The best acts of the night walk away with a prize, and more importantly, the audience love them!
It’s fast, it’s brutal, and it's f***ing funny
Gong-style comedy is the ultimate high-stakes format for stand-up. The premise is simple: comedians try to perform a 5 minutes set, but if the audience or judges aren't laughing, they get "gonged" off the stage before their time is up.
