New to ComedySportz?
ComedySportz is fast-paced, family-friendly improvisational comedy, played as a sport. Two teams take turns making up scenes, playing games and singing songs – and the audience votes on which team they like the best. It's all presided over by a referee, who keeps things moving, calls the ComedySportz fouls and takes suggestions shouted out by the audience before each game.
If you've seen TV's Whose Line Is It Anyway? you've got the basic idea, although ComedySportz's two-team competitive format ensures a fast-paced, high-energy show - and experiencing this live show is very different from watching a TV show.
A tournament for the ages – and for all ages
ComedySportz is 100% family-friendly. You can bring the kids, you can bring the grandparents, you can even bring the grandparents' kids. It's the only show we know of where the audience regularly features bachelor parties, church groups, senior citizens, teenagers, kids and adults. It's a show that entertains everyone and offends no one.
And it's fun, because you get to be involved – shouting out suggestions to help decide what the scenes are going to be about and voting for which team makes you laugh the most.
