Two teams of improvisers vie for points in a hilarious competition by playing a series of improv games, similar to what yo may have seen on TV’s Whose Line Is It Anyway? A referee governs the action, calling fouls and keeping the match moving at a blistering pace. The audience is always a part of the interactive show, and audience volunteers sometimes even wind up on stage!
Because everything is improvised, it’s never the same show twice. And it’s clean–appropriate for all ages. Every ComedySportz® match is a unique and unforgettable event–laughs guaranteed! Come see why so many people come back to see us again and again.

What is ComedySportz NYC?
ComedySportz® New York is a fast paced, interactive improvised comedy show played as a sport. Two teams of improvisers face off funny bone to funny bone and vie for your applause and laughter. The ref keeps the match going by getting suggestions from you, our loyal fans, that the players use to create everything that you will see and hear during the match. At the end of the match you, the loyal fans, will choose a winner and that team will be victorious!
ComedySportz® New York is committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment that honors and amplifies the diverse voices within our community. We particularly focus on uplifting the experiences of historically underrepresented groups, including but not limited to BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), LGBTQIA individuals (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and/or Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, and other self-identities), Women, and People with Disabilities.

“Our evening with Comedy Sportz New York was exactly what I hoped for and more than I could have expected. The actors were engaging, kind, funny, enthusiastic, and clearly passionate about their work. Our students put down their phones, looked up, stood up, clapped, danced, sang, and laughed their way through the entire show. Highly recommend!”
