ComedySportz Virtual Championship 2021!

Whilst we're sad there won't be a live and in-person ComedySportz World Championship this year the upside is that you can catch virtual shows from the comfort of your own home! Watch the CSz Virtual World Championship this week here.

Teams from across CSz Worldwide will be going toe to toe (give or take a few thousand miles) with quick-witted gags and games Wednesday-Saturday this week. You can catch us playing CSz Jersey Shore this Wednesday from 7pm BST and CSz New York City on Saturday from 7pm BST.

Improv Double Bill at Lock 91

We were due to bring ComedySportz to a new city centre venue last March and then lockdown hit. We were then going to launch in October... and Manchester was put into Tier 4. Now third time's the charm as we bring our shows to Lock 91 starting Thursday 29th July. This will be a new monthly venue for us and we're kicking off with an improv double bill featuring the brilliant Absolute Onions!

Never seen ComedySportz before? It's comedy's funniest fixture as two teams go for gold with quick-witted gags and games in this all action, all improvised competitive comedy show. There's a referee on hand to ensure a good clean match with penalties for bad behaviour and bad jokes. Who wins? YOU decide!

Then we've got the fantastic Absolute Onions and their Improv Karaoke! They'll take a Karaoke classic chosen by the audience and perform an improvised narrative that will uncover the surprising real story behind that song! So pour the Prosecco, spin your disco balls and get ready to drop the mic! “Very Clever!” Number9reviews

Tickets are on sale NOW - book today!

Moving forward ComedySportz will be performing at Lock 91 on the last Thursday of every month! We hope you'll join us for an unscripted, unpredictable and unmissable night out!

PLEASE NOTE: Due to their licence Lock 91 is an adults only venue. So, whilst ComedySportz will still be playing it clean, families with children are not able to attend this show.
