Game night, but funnier
Everyone's a comedian at Joke Karaoke
It works like song karaoke — except instead of singing, you're handed a joke. Performers take the mic and read it off the screen; the room scores the funny and the delivery. Nobody has to write material, nobody has to be good. That's the point.

No talent required
Grab the mic. Get scored.
Players join from their phones with a code — no app to install. The jokes go up on any screen; the ratings and the leaderboard take care of themselves.
How a night runs
Scan the QR or type the code on your phone. Pick a stage name. No app, no account.
When it's your turn, your joke appears on the big screen. Read it your way — deadpan, dramatic, terrible accents encouraged.
Everyone rates the funny and the delivery, 1–5, from their phones. Scores land live.
The leaderboard tracks it all night. Somebody's going home insufferable.
Four ways to run it
The game deals each performer a surprise joke from the categories you pick. Purest chaos.
Players browse the bank and queue up a joke they think they can land.
You hand-pick who reads what, mid-show. Great for roast-adjacent evenings.
Everyone gets their joke in the lobby with time to rehearse before the show starts.
The material is handled
A curated bank of 32 jokes across 4 categories — one-liners, observational bits, the classics, and crowd-work prompts — each rated from easy to spicy and short enough to land in under a minute. Hosts can also drop in their own jokes mid-show.
