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.

Our Improvised Panto returns this December for more festive fun the whole family can enjoy! There will be heroes, villains, romance and songs aplenty all inspired by your suggestions. There will be plenty of opportunities to join in the fun - oh yes there will - in this highly interactive show full of gags and games... and every villain is going to need a henchman!
Our improvised pantomimes are a loving pastiche of traditional panto tropes and characters and alternative to the same old stories. Players don't know which character they're going to be play or what the story is going to be about as our fairy god-referees take suggestions from the audience. We will have live musical accompaniment for this year's shows as well which is something we've wanted for a while!
Book Now!
We'll be bringing our improvised panto to The Palace in Longridge for the first time this December. It'll be a night of laughter and mirth as players craft a pantomime adventure with only your suggestions and a sprinkling of fairy dust to guide them. We can't wait to bring the show to the Palace (eat your heart out Cinderella) next month.
This is our third year of doing the pantomimes and they've been a sell-out success at Waterside Arts in previous years. We're delighted to be back this year with four more shows so be sure to book your tickets now!
Finally, we'll also be performing an Adults Only version of the Improvised Pantomime on Saturday 7th December at The Kings Arms, Salford. This will replace our regular Improv Mullet Show. The show will start at 7.30pm!
These are currently our last booked in shows for 2019 so you won't want to miss them! We'll then return in January with new workshops and our New Year, New Games special at Waterside Arts!
We're only a few weeks away from the return of the ComedySportz Improvised Pantomime! OH YES WE ARE!
Each show will be a completely new adventure created from your suggestions and a little sprinkling of fairy dust. There will be heroes, villains and what we lovingly refer to as songs in this fond pastiche of the nation's favourite Christmas show - we might also throw in a few ComedySportz games for good measure.
There will also be plenty of opportunities to join in to help our heroes win the day... and every good villain needs a henchman!
Our improvised pantomime proved a real hit with audiences at the Waterside in 2017 and we're delighted to be back with more shows and more venues. With shows across Greater Manchester, there will be plenty of opportunities to catch these fantastically festive shows that are an alternative Christmas treat that the whole family can enjoy!
*The 3pm show on Saturday 15th December replaces our regular ComedySportz 4 Tots show. However, this show will still be aimed at younger audiences aged 6 and under.
