Two teams of improvisers take your suggestions, ideas and merest whims and twist them into sheer comedy brilliance before your very eyes. No scripts, no shortcuts and no two shows are the same.
Shameless fun for all ages without delving into the sort of subject matter that bulks out the Channel 5 schedule after the watershed.
If you like Whose Line Is It Anyway then this will blow your mind. This is ComedySportz...

Dick Chudnow, from whom all goodness flows. For the record, we are not a cult and, being British, haven’t the faintest ideas what this "Kool-Aid" stuff people keep going on about is.

Step 1 - Attend one of our shows, details of which can be found on our shiny revamped website. WWW.ComedySportz.Co.UK
Step 2 - When prompted by the firm but fair referee, provide your ideas and suggestions.
Step 3 - Watch as the ComedySportz players weavecomedy gold from your ideas and suggestions.
Step 4 - Laugh. Uproariously if you have to, it's not healthy to hold it in.
Step 5 - Repeat steps 3 and 4 until one team is victorious and one despondant.
Step 6 - Enlightenment.
It really is that simple, if you don't believe us why not come and see for yourself at The Comedy Store in Manchester where we're the resident improv troupe. Alternatively, sign up to our email list at our website WWW.ComedySportz.Co.UK to be told when we're coming to your area.
Who I'd like to meet: People in Leicester that like a good laugh or, if they're feeling daring, a two hour show with many, many laughs. On Saturday 16th February ComedySportz makes it Leicester Comedy Festival debut at The Leicester Ark Theatre on Sparkenhoe road. Look, here's a poster...
If you live in Leicester or the surrounding area then come along. There's a fantastic deal whereby you can see ComedySportz, the phenomenal Penny Dreadfuls and, if you're clearly mature enough to handle it, a special late improv night show known only as Wit For Brains for just TEN POUNDS. A legitimate bargain.
Three shows for a tenner? You'd be a fool to pass that up.
