ComedySportz Presents: The 3-Person, 1-Hour CStar Warz
A long time ago, in a Fringe festival far, far away . . . three actors attempted to recreate the classic sci-fi movie live on stage in just 60 minutes! From ComedySportz, Philly’s longest-running comedy show, comes The 3-Person, 1-Hour CStar Warz—the nerdiest fun you will have this Philly Fringe.
Fanz: This show has been postponed due to scheduling conflicts. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please be sure to check out the other awesome Fringe shows below.
ComedySportz Presents: BeatBox Philly
Born in Chicago, this is the East Coast, Philly version of a show that combines improvised rapping and storytelling and is totally awesome. These guys rap in the moment like it ain’t no thang. This show, developed by improvisers in Chicago, has been adapted by members of ComedySportz Philly, the city’s longest running and most popular improv comedy show.
