Brehs, do you think a Verzuz for comedians could work?

I get the feeling that Kevin Hart would body Katt Williams. Kevin is striking me as the sort that has a hidden mean streak.

With Verzuz being such a cultural sensation, don’t be surprised if we see it applied to other forms of entertainment. Stand-up comedy definitely comes to mind. And while no pair of comedians have stepped up to the plate quite yet, Katt Williams recently made it clear that he’s willing to take on Kevin Hart in a battle should the opportunity ever arise.

While talking to Baltimore radio host Perisa Nicole recently, Williams revealed that he wouldn’t shy away from a battle against Hart because according to him, his only competition is Richard Pryor.


Hart and Williams haven’t always seen eye-to-eye. In fact, this isn’t the first time Williams has challenged Hart to a comedic competition.

After going back-and-forth with Hart in 2016, Williams challenged Hart to a $5 million battle. Williams insisted that they could do anything Hart desires for the money, but he would like to go head-to-head against him in comedy.

On that stage, we can put whatever you want: a full-court basketball court, a boxing ring, two microphones for a rap cypher, or you can get your ass dusted in comedy on that stage,” Williams said in a video. “And since you not a puppet, don’t bring no white people with you then.

Hart didn’t respond to this challenge, but Williams did get a rise out of Hart when he went on the offensive against one of Kevin’s proteges, Tiffany Haddish, in 2018. Williams claimed that Haddish didn’t put in the same amount of work as other female comedians. Hart responded by claiming drugs are the reason for Williams’s career decline.

I'd pay money to see them do a 1-1 roast. Joke for Joke.

Like this. Jamie was even scoring it at one point

Katt Williams did it to serve Harvey like 12 years ago.

Nobody remembers this because it was before social media but facts

I don't believe too many comedians would be willing to participate.

What are they going to do, rehash old jokes? Regurgitating old material won't come off the same as it did when we first heard it. It doesn't work that way like with music.

They definitely would not bring new material because new jokes are worth money to them. Why waste them on some online battle?

Don't give what you can sell.

Outside of roasting each other it wouldn't work....and that would probably get old too. 2 comedians making fun of each other (Kevin's height, Jamie's hairline/teeth, Kat's drug issues): So what?

Scoll up to my post. It's a pretty basic concept and would work.

None of the big name comics would be down for 1v1 roasting they too hollywood

Katt can roast but up against Kevin who knows

 

[Alvin]

If you say yes, what kind of format could they use? These has me intrigued. Lettuce discuss

Hell no UNLESS it’s them roasting each other, they just going to do old jokes they did before!?
