"ComedySportz" is a completely improvised show in which a red and blue team battle for your laughter. A referee hosts each show and comes to you the audience to shout out your suggestions and your ideas drive the show!

The audience interaction at each show influences every scene, song or game played on stage! You vote for the team that makes you laugh the hardest and you decide the winner!

Because the show is completely made up on the spot, bad words occasionally occur. ComedySportz improvisers pride themselves on providing smart, clean comedy every night. When they slip, the referee calls the infamous "Brown Bag Foul!"

When the show starts, we calibrate our Applause-o-meter and award points to the team that receives the loudest laughs and cheers! At the end of the first half, the team that is behind has to play the most difficult ComedySportz game in our playbook - "5 Thingz".

After a brief intermission, the two teams are back to make you laugh even harder! Audience interaction now becomes extra fun as it's your turn to get on stage!

Our improvisers always make the the volunteer look like a rock star! Audience Volunteers walk away with a great memory and are rewarded with a ComedySportz Ref Treat.

After all of the games have been played, listen for Mr. Voice to announce the winner! Is it the Downtown Chicago Bosses in blue or is it the visiting team in red? Your laughter and cheers determine the winner!

Because all of your suggestions are different every night and there are 100's of games in the ComedySportz playbook, the show is never the same twice! Want to see something funny? Shout out your idea!

"ComedySportz" is a hilarious night out for anyone who loves to laugh. We see families, college students, groups celebrating special events and lots of birthday parties. Have a birthday? Request our very special "Birthday Song!"
