The Roast Host

laughter is the most important thing in life

It all started with a group of friends who took turns lovingly roasting each other. They stood up in bars at birthday celebrations, killed it on wedding toasts, and generally just really enjoyed any occasion to laugh together. After a particularly raucous evening one of those friends, Ryan Panucci, muttered the universal question when a really good time has been had: “Why don’t we do this more?” With a background in professional comedy and enough friends with actual skills that people pay for, The Roast Host was born. It has grown to a full team of event planners and party professionals that Ryan leads.

Ryan took care of everything, and was able to bring our office holiday party to the next level. Highly recommend.
