Five Minutes or Bust is a consensual comedy show where each comedian has a chance to shoot their shot and try to last a full five minutes on stage.

If the audience isn’t laughing, the performer will be given an early ejection by the Joke Master. This is a true test for comics to flex their comedic prowess and prove they can perform under pressure.
