Keep a straight face. The less you react to your own roast, the harder it hits. Deadpan delivery is your best friend.

Don't over-explain. Say the roast, then stop. If you have to explain why it's funny, it wasn't.

Read the room. The same roast can be hilarious or hurtful depending on timing and your relationship with the target.

Don't pile on. One good roast per exchange is the sweet spot. Going for three in a row makes you look mean, not funny.

Be ready to take one back. If you dish it out, you have to be able to take it. Laughing at yourself earns respect.
