Verbal Violence

Rich Slaton went from teaching LSAT classes to being a comic, and after a few years chasing laughs on the road he settled in as a doorman at the Comedy Store - and as one of the most fearsome battlers of the show's early days. This week, after a recent return to the ring, Rich descends into the Comedy Store basement studio to chat with Moses, Coach, and Frank about growing up in grimy Sacramento, the ever-present battle between realism, irony, and storytelling in his standup, and the economics of slavery. @RoastBattle Brian Moses @racebanning Coach Tea @coach_tea Frank Castillo @frankccomedy Rich Slaton @MMAcomic FEATURED BATTLES Greg Roque @NoLegGreg vs. Keith Carey @keithtellsjokes Arthur Hamilton @comedianarthur vs. Movses Shakarian @MovsesShakarian Matt LeGrande @mattlegrande vs. Tony Bartolone @TonyDoesComedy Rich Slaton vs. Connor McSpadden @connormcspadden
