Frequently Asked Questions

What is a ComedySportz match?

Two teams competing for laughs and points while they play short improvised games. (Ever seen Whose Line Is It Anyways? It’s like that, but the points DO matter!) One referee keeps the match moving forward, and an audience full of loyal fanz determine the winner. Games are selected fresh for each match from a list of over a hundred games, and every thing is made up completely on the spot. Every match is different—different games, different players, different loyal fanz.

Who can come to a match?

Anyone 5-105 who likes to laugh! ComedySportz has something for everyone—we are all ages friendly all the time so ComedySportz is great for date night or family night. You can bring anyone: co-workers, kids, college students, your best friend, your worst enemy, your grandparents or your boss! Lots of laughs and no offensive content.
