Comedysportz Buffalo
Proudly Serving Local Improv Since 1993
What is ComedySportz?
ComedySportz is improvisational comedy played as a sport. Our high energy short-form improv show has two teams of professional comedians improvising games, songs, jokes, and scenes while a referee calls fouls and fields suggestions from you, our loyal fans. Loyal fans will vote for which team they like best and Mx Voice will declare an ultimate winner for the evening! Best of all, this show uses humor that is appropriate for people of any age. We're clean enough for your kids to enjoy and funny enough to have adults laughing out loud.
What can i expect?
ComedySportz shows run from ninety minutes to two hours. Our players draw from a collection of hundreds of games so every show is different. Everything we do is improvised, meaning we don't have scripts nor pre-planned scenes. We will ask for audience volunteers on occasion but always in a fun and respectful way - you will never be forced to participate if you don't want to nor put into a position that makes you feel obligated/uncomfortable. ComedySportz Buffalo is steadfastly committed to presenting humor in a positive and inclusive way, which includes player performance, staff interactions, and audience suggestions. That's right - you could get called for an "Out of Bounds" foul if your suggestions aren't clean enough to say in front of grandma!
