What is a ComedySportz Match?
Two teams of L.A.'s top improv comedians compete for laughs and points in this hilarious interactive show, based upon audience suggestions. The referee regulates play with witty rules and funny fouls to keep the suggestions clean and the comedians on their toes. Our improvising musician underscores the match, providing sound effects, atmosphere, and big musical numbers. Everybody Laughs™ because it’s totally interactive and customized comedy to suit elements within your group (referencing products, buzzwords, and your corporate culture).
Here’s the Show (in 4 Easy Steps):
1. The referee explains the rules, the roles and ridiculousness that’s
about to ensue. He introduces the teams and warms up the audience.
2. The audience shouts suggestions to start each improv game, and occasionally volunteers to be a part of the show.
3. The teams take turns playing various hilarious games, attempting to make the audience laugh the hardest. Fouls are called to keep it fast-paced, family-friendly and hilarious.
4. The audience chooses their favorite scenes and points are awarded. One team wins, and EVERYBODY LAUGHS!

U-sical:
The musical created about YOU.
U-sical is a full-length,
improvised musical based on the life of an audience member! Audience
members volunteer their own stories at the top of the show. Everybody votes for
their favorite and we interview the winning storyteller. Without time
to plan, the players take the stage and that personal story becomes a
musical comedy, improvised in harmony!
U-sical is always an audience favorite and a wonderful show to honor a corporate or family event.
Musical Tribute
While most of what we do here at ComedySportz is improvised, we have a tremendous team of seasoned professional comedy writers. This particular show is scripted. Prior to your event, our staff will interview loved ones and friends to glean information about the person being honored. Then we will script a 12-15 minute custom musical montage set to favorite classic tunes. On the day of your event, a handful of our lovely and talented ComedySportz performers will be hilarity in harmony, all in honor of your special guest or event.
Bedlam
Bedlam is a fantastic improv comedy show, themed to your choosing, usually to honor a specific holiday, industry, occasion or interest. It's a non-competitive format and features some of your favorite ComedySportz players. The comedy is often experimental and has few rules. Bedlam features guest artists as well, such as stand-up comedians, novelty acts and musicians. You never know what you'll see, but it's guaranteed to be both terrific and hilarious.
