Shows for Schools
We're the top provider of improvisational theatre for schools in California, and we do it for all ages. Want to keep those elementary kids fascinated? Need a show for those hard-to-please middle schoolers? Need special entertainment for a senior high banquet, party, post-prom or assembly? We're you're answer.
We're members of the Drama Teachers Association of Southern California and the national Educational Theatre Association. We're not only members of the California Educational Theatre Association, but our artistic director is its president. We've been inducted into the California Thespian Hall of Fame. Oh, and did we mention we run the largest teen improv program in the United States? All true.
Our shows can be any length and even be customized for your event. We'll work with your budget. We even do training events for your student body or staff.
What is a ComedySportz Match?
Two teams of L.A.'s top improv comedians compete for laughs and points in this hilarious 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 to suit elements within your group (referencing items such as school buzzwords, campus culture, teams and mascots).
Here’s the Show (in 4 Easy Steps):
-
The referee explains the rules, the roles and ridiculousness that’s
about to ensue. He introduces the teams and warms up the audience.
- The teams take turns playing various hilarious games, attempting to make the audience laugh the hardest.
- The audience shouts suggestions to start each game, and occasionally volunteers to be a part of the show.
- Everybody Laughs™. The audience enjoys it all and ultimately decides the winner.
Client Comments
“As
you may know, it’s difficult to find something that is 'cool' or 'hip'
enough for 6th, 7th or 8th graders. We were in complete awe over the
kids’ laughter, concentration and pure enjoyment. We’ve never seen 600
kids so involved in an assembly.”
Demille Middle School
“Performances
at our venue need to be not just entertaining, but must incorporate an
interactive component. ComedySportz was a perfect choice. The actors
are funny, talented and very professional.”

“CETA
is so very fortunate to have you as a creative resource. As an
organization, we are indebted to you in so many ways. Working with you

California Educational Theatre Association
“You
were absolutely wonderful! Girls and adults alike were laughing
tremendously! A wise person once said ‘Laughter is the best medicine.’
If that is true, ComedySportz holds a medical degree. You are
terrific.”
Girl Scouts, Joshua Tree Council
“It
is difficult to find activities which are appealing to high school
seniors while still being appropriate and entertaining. Your
performance was all these things and more. Senior year is a very
special time for these students and they work hard to raise the needed
funds for activities which create lifelong memories. You performance
was worth every cent.”
