This weekend we're celebrating 15 years of fun and laughter at Waterside Arts! Join us on Saturday 22nd April for an evening of all action, all improvised fun for all ages. Tickets can be booked here or via venue box office.
Never seen a ComedySportz match before? Two teams will be going for gold with quick-witted gags and games inspired by your suggestions. Who wins? YOU decide! Don't miss the weekend's funniest fixture - the fun kicks off at 6.30pm.
If you've got children aged 6 and under, check out ComedySportz 4 Tots at 3pm. It's a show with plenty of big laughs for little kids as our players entertain with silly songs and sketches. Book tickets here.
And before all of that, Sean and Bron will also be appearing on BBC Radio Manchester Saturday morning at 10.40 am to talk all things ComedySportz.
We're so excited to be celebrating 15 years at Waterside Arts and want to say a big thank you to the venue staff and audiences that have made the shows so much fun! Whether it's a regular show, a Halloween Spooktacular or March Mayhem Match, we've loved entertaining audiences at Waterside Arts and watching our audiences grow... literally!
It's the return of our March Mayhem Match at Waterside Arts this Saturday, 26th March! This weekend we're giving YOU control over the whole show - you'll pick the teams and the games they play. That's right, you're in charge for a night of unscripted, unpredictable and unmissable comedy action!
We'll also be picking two audience members to act as team managers giving words of encouragement to players... or offering scathing critique like the kid that told one team "that was very funny, but your acting could be better." So if you have a fan favourite game and want to put our teams of top improvisers to the test, you'll want to be at this weekend's funniest fixture. Book tickets here.
Got kids aged 6 and under? Check out ComedySportz 4 Tots, a show that's jam-packed with silly songs and gags to get your little ones giggling! Book tickets here.

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!
