ComedySportz coming to the Atkinson Southport on October

ComedySportz brings competitive improvised comedy to The Atkison this October in the first of a new monthly show.

The show pits two teams battling it out for laughs as players create quick-witted sketches, scenes and songs from whatever suggestions are thrown at them by the audience. It’s an all ages, all improvised show that’s fast, feel good and always unpredictably funny. There’s a referee on hand to steer the entertainment, call any fouls and help the audience decide the winner.

“It’s comedy as a sport not comedy about sports, and the fans can be just as passionate,” jokes Sean Mason, one of the ComedySportz regular cast. “Audiences want something fresh, funny and unpredictable. More importantly they want a comedy show that the whole family can enjoy.”

“We love bringing the show to audiences across the country and we always get a great mix of suggestions. We’re excited to see what suggestions the people of Southport throw at us.”

ComedySportz has been bringing it’s unique brand of competitive comedy to audiences for 13 years and the team are excited to be bringing the show to a new audience. The show started in Chorley before moving to Manchester and the group now play to audiences across the country.

“Audience suggestions and volunteers are a big part of the fun but don’t worry if you’re shy, just come along and prepare to laugh!” says Brainne Edge, ComedySportz manager. “ComedySportz is suitable for all ages, little kids and adult kids. It seems to make us especially popular for birthday parties.”

“The show is completely improvised so we never know what is going to happen. But whoever ‘wins’ it’s the audience that are the real winners. So come on down, the show can’t start without you!”
