Montreal’s Just For Laughs 2019 (JFL) saw another Roastmasters Invitational with Jeff Ross as the Roastmaster General and hosted by Brian Moses.
The 2015 Invitational had been won by Jimmy and Earl Skakel had knocked him out in 2016. Jimmy missed out on 2017-18 events but was back in the game for 2019.
Held at Club Soda it started from midnight each night and ran from July 24th to 27th.
This year it’s really hard to work out exactly who did what on which night. Best I can do is list some of the roast battlers and judges (note that some performed both roles) – some of which I gleaned from this Interrobang post.

- K Trevor Wilson
