Upcoming Shows!

Thanks to everyone who came to our Leicester Comedy Festival shows and sold-out Totally Improvised Musical at Chorley Theatre this month! Missed out? Don't worry because we have plenty more shows coming up in the next couple of months...

ComedySportz is back at Waterside Arts on Saturday 24th February for more all action, all improvised and award-winning competitive comedy fun! And don't miss our March Mayhem Match on Saturday 30th March. We'll be putting the power in the audiences hands as you pick the teams, the games and the winners. We'll also be choosing two audience members at random to act as coaches to the players and get some sweet swag for their efforts!

The Totally Improvised Musical moves to the first Wednesday of every month at Fierce Bar, Manchester starting Wednesday 6th March. Your very own comedy musical composed on the fly by our players - if we use your title you also get a free pin badge. If that's not worth the price of admission, we don't know what is! We'll also be bringing the musical fun to Waterside Arts on Friday 19th April - tickets are on sale now.

Autumn Shows and Workshops

It might not feel like it during this heat wave but summer is nearly over! We've just about recovered from our Edinburgh Fringe run - full houses, glowing audiences, lots of fun and very little sleep - and it's time to look to what the rest of the year has in store. With more improv comedy shows and workshops to look forward to there's something for everyone...

The fun kicks off with some fierce competition as ComedySportz heads to Fierce Bar, Manchester on Tuesday 12th September. Get ready for a night of all action, all improvised competitive comedy fun. The venue may be adults only but it'll still be a good clean match! Tickets are just £5 and available online or on the door.

Fierce Bar is also the new home of The Totally Improvised Musical. We'll be composing brand new comedy musicals every first Tuesday of the month. Our next show there on Tuesday 3rd October - get your tickets here. Fierce Bar is a really exciting space in the heart of Manchester's Northern Quarter with plenty of great shows every week.

Wait, there's more...?

We're back for another season at Waterside Arts starting with ComedySportz on Saturday 23rd September (tickets here). Join us for some award-winning family friendly fun and don't forget to dress up for Halloween Spooktacular in October!

The Totally Improvised Musical will also be returning to Chorley Theatre in September. Then we'll once again be celebrating another ComedySportz birthday there in November.

The New Adelphi Comedy Night will be returning to the University of Salford from next month. A night of improv, stand-up and sketch featuring some of the best and brightest up and coming voices in comedy. The first show is in October - tickets are available on the door only.

And is it too early to start talking about the return of The Totally Improvised Pantomime in December? With family friendly and adults only shows there will be plenty of festive fun! Oh yes there will! Some dates are on sale now with more dates and venues to be added soon...

Totally Improvised Buxton!

We're delighted to be bringing The Totally Improvised Musical to the Buxton Festival Fringe this month! Each show is the opening and closing performance of a brand-new comedy musical inspired by a title suggested by the audience. 

“Suggestions are always weird and wonderful, making every show totally unique,” says Bron. “We’ve done musicals about a prison break where no one wanted to escape, a love triangle between competing sandwich makers or hobbits taking on greedy land developers!” 

Once you give us a title, we compose the musical on the fly; the story, the songs, the music, the everything! We have no idea what will happen before the show, but promise there will be plenty of fun, music and possibly even some dancing. “Though we all seem to have dodgy knees,” adds Bron.

We're excited to be bringing some musical mayhem to Buxton before heading to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August. “We love bringing shows to Buxton,” adds Sean. “We can’t wait to see what suggestions we get from one of the best Fringe audiences in the country. The show really can’t start without you!” 

Join us for an afternoon of live music, laughter and song. Book now for our shows at Underground at The Clubhouse on the 22nd and 23rd of July. Shows start at 2.30pm lasting approx. one hour. Tickets are £9 or £7 concessions.
