ComedySportz 19th Birthday Show at Chorley Theatre!
2020 may not have been the laugh riot we were all hoping for but there was no way ComedySportz was going to miss our birthday show at Chorley Theatre this November. Join us for a completely unscripted, totally unpredictable and absolutely unmissable night out!
We're delighted to be returning to the venue where it all began to celebrate 19 years of family friendly fun and laughter on Saturday 21st November. We hope you can join us for a night of quick-witted comedy and to support a fantastic local venue. The show will be social distanced in a COVID secure venue. So whilst this year our two teams may be going toe to toe from 2 metres it will still be plenty of fun!
Never seen a ComedySportz match before? Two teams go for gold with gags and games guaranteed to get you giggling. There's a referee on hand to ensure a good clean match with penalties for bad behaviour and bad jokes. ComedySportz matches are totally improvised and with sketches and scenes inspired by your suggestions. Who wins? YOU decide!
Chorley Theatre is the home of great entertainment in the heart of Lancashire. It's the venue where ComedySportz UK began and we return every year for more all action, all improvised fun for all ages.
Book your tickets now. You can find out about Chorley Theatre's COVID safety procedures here so you can book with confidence. You can find our more about the history of ComedySportz in the UK here. Watch our full 2018 Birthday show here.
In 2001 ComedySportz UK started with just two teams, one ref, no script and some jokes! Not much has changed since then (our except our player's kits) and we're delighted to be returning to the venue where it all began - Chorley Little Theatre - to celebrate 18 years of fun and laughter on Saturday, 16th of November!
It's hard to believe since those humble beginnings that we're still here 18 years later and have performed and taught all over the world! Our journey started when Bron (centre, pic above) came back from America to run the youth theatre at Chorley Little Theatre. She had fallen in love the show in America and asked if we could do a one off show for charity. Players and audience members love it and we've been putting the world into CSz Worldwide ever since!
18 years later and the ref still can't control the players shenanigans!
Our birthday shows are always a highlight of our year and great fun for all ages. As always our birthday show will be a Chorley vs. Manchester match with players who have been with us since the beginning versus newer players. ComedySportz UK is now also legally old enough to drink so you'll be able to find us in the bar after!
We'll be playing plenty of audience favourite games including 'Object Tag!' so be prepared to bring some really imaginative objects to see if we use them in our game! In previous years people have given us everything from a spare tyre to a microwave from which to craft quick-witted jokes and gags.
