Four warriors compete in comedic challenges to avoid electric shocks, paintballs, a giant egg-smashing chicken, and many more hilarious jaw-dropping punishments that were called “Hilarious” and “Cringe-worthy” by DNA Info Chicago. The cast of BATSU! are members of the acclaimed comedy group Face Off Unlimited.

If you’re looking for a night full of surprises, non-stop laughs, and a one-of-a-kind show, this is it! BATSU! which means “punishment” in Japanese, has been a huge hit in New York. The show became a cult favorite, with audience members returning multiple times. BATSU! is a production that audiences will never forget!

A full menu/bar will be available and audience members may enjoy sushi and sake, while the bravest sign up for a chance to participate in BATSU! themselves. The show was hailed as one of Thrillist’s “20 Fresh Date Ideas” in New York, and is a perfect night for birthday celebrations, an office outing, date nights, and those who are bored with the typical dinner and drinks routine.
