Stand-ups highlight the humor of everyday life

A lack of humor is no laughing matter and being too serious is no joke. To help alleviate the pressures of modern life, a show hopes to help viewers see the funny side of it.

The second season of Rock and Roast was piloted on online streaming media platform Tencent Video on July 21. The show, which made its debut with its first season in August 2017, has been aiming to promote stand-up comedy culture in China.

In each episode, seven participants face hundreds of spectators who rate them to decide who stays or goes. A winner will be crowned at the end of this season.
