Who are ComedySportz?
ComedySportz turns improv into a competitive sport, and its Richmond, Virginia home is the CSz Richmond Theater. In each match two teams of professional players compete for points and laughs while a referee keeps the game moving and penalises fouls. The audience takes charge of the result: fans rate every scene and game, decide which side wins and loses, and sometimes step onto the field themselves as volunteer players. The format also has a place at Improv Festivus, where a Saturday ComedySportz show is open to any of its players who want to take part. [1][2][3]
