Two teams of improvisers take your suggestions, ideas and merest whims and twist them into sheer comedy brilliance before your very eyes. No scripts, no shortcuts and no two shows are the same.
Shameless fun for all ages without delving into the sort of subject matter that bulks out the Channel 5 schedule after the watershed.
If you like Whose Line Is It Anyway then this will blow your mind. This is ComedySportz...

Dick Chudnow, from whom all goodness flows. For the record, we are not a cult and, being British, haven’t the faintest ideas what this "Kool-Aid" stuff people keep going on about is.

Step 1 - Attend one of our shows, details of which can be found on our shiny revamped website. WWW.ComedySportz.Co.UK
Step 2 - When prompted by the firm but fair referee, provide your ideas and suggestions.
Step 3 - Watch as the ComedySportz players weavecomedy gold from your ideas and suggestions.
Step 4 - Laugh. Uproariously if you have to, it's not healthy to hold it in.
Step 5 - Repeat steps 3 and 4 until one team is victorious and one despondant.
Step 6 - Enlightenment.
It really is that simple, if you don't believe us why not come and see for yourself at The Comedy Store in Manchester where we're the resident improv troupe. Alternatively, sign up to our email list at our website WWW.ComedySportz.Co.UK to be told when we're coming to your area.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone with the proverbial good sense of humour that feels like watching a hilarious show unfurl before their very eyes, one that will never be repeated. In fact, if you're in the Sale area come and see ComedySportz make their debut at The Waterside Arts Centre on the evening of Saturday 28th June at 6:30pm. Tickets are a mere £5 and you can find out all you could ever want to know about the venue by clicking right here, here or here..
Oh and lest we forget, ComedySportz returnz to the Edinburgh festival and the sight of last year's triumph, Meadow Bar on Buccleuch Street with the Laughing Horse Free Festival. We're there from Sunday 10th August until Monday 25th August at 15:05 (That's five minutes past three in the afternoon...) and we intend to rock the house. Find out more about that by clicking gently with your mouse on this very spot right here.
