Since exploding in 2009, Yo’ Mama Battle! has become a cult staple of the international comedy circuit. Now entering its 18th year, the show returns to the Sydney Comedy Festival for another high-octane, no-holds-barred tournament of wit and laughs. 

This isn't your standard stand-up set; it’s an interactive, improv-fueled war of words where the audience calls the shots.  

Created and hosted by the "maniacal" Seizure Kaiser, the show pits the city’s sharpest comedians against each other in a head-to-head battle of insults. Armed only with their quick thinking and your suggested topics, these "battlers" go back and forth until one mother is left standing and the other is... well, thoroughly joked about. 

Expect a night of "insults and mayhem" where the jokes are as fresh as they are brutal.
