Fed up of the same old pantos every year? Then get ready for the return of the ComedySportz Improvised Pantomime! Heroes, villains, songs and silliness are guaranteed as the gang improvise a brand new pantomime using only your suggestions and a sprinkling of fairy dust.
There will be songs, silliness, gags and games in this loving pastiche of panto characters and tropes. You'll cast the players in their roles and there will be a ref-fairy on hand to get suggestions from the audience. It's unscripted, unpredictable and unlike any other panto you'll see this December.
Join us for an alternative festive family treat or leave the kids at home for our Adults Only show on 17th December. All shows will be at our regular venue, Waterside Arts in Sale.

Nothing says you’re ready to rock the winter look like a brand new T-Shirt! We’re launching another T-Shirt campaign with all proceeds going to support our players. Get one for yourself or give one as a gift this Christmas*.
The success of our "home improvment" and "nice shoes" campaigns earlier this year is entirely down to the support of our audience. Thank you to everyone who has supported us this year, whether through donations, sharing our shows on social media or subscribing to our youtube channel. Whether you've been able to donate or not, we're immensely grateful for everyone that continues to support live(stream) comedy!
Our winter campaign is live now and the shirts are available from MerchT.
All of our online shows are free, however, donations are gratefully received. For more info on how you can support out players visit our donations page.
We've got one final festive treat lined up for 2018 with two shows in the fabulous Spiegeltent at Piece Hall in Halifax!
Never seen a ComedySportz match before? Two teams will battle it out for your laughter using quick-witted gags, games, sketches and songs inspired by your suggestions. There's a referee on hand to ensure a good clean match - it's a family friendly show after all - with penalties for bad behaviour and bad jokes. The show is lots of fun for all ages, from chuckling children to giggling grandparents.
As it's Christmas time we'll be sure to throw in a few festive themed games. There will also be plenty of opportunities to get involved in these all action, all improvised comedy shows.
We were delighted to be asked back to the Spiegeltent after appearing at the Comedy for Kids show last year and there is a fantastic line up of events for families across the whole festive period. Piece Hall is wonderful venue packed full of great places to shop and eat - we might even do a little last minute Christmas shopping ourselves...
So if you're looking for something to do with the family over Christmas you don't want to miss ComedySportz at The Piece Hall!
