Description
ComedySportz is an improv comedy show that thinks it’s a sporting match. The comedy is made up on the spot, but the competition is real! Two teams, The New jersey Turnpikes and The Philadelphia Whiz Wits, battle each other in a series of improv games and scenes; whichever one gets the most laughs from you, the Loyal Fans, wins!
We are Philly’s longest-running show
We have been entertaining fans like you for over 30 years! You get those years of experience when you come to a match. ComedySportz is a fully-produced comedy show with lights, staging, music, and a professional cast of performers. That’s a lot of comedy bang for your buck.
Speaking of bucks…
You have a variety of ticket options, including discounts for students and groups. You don’t need to break the bank to enjoy a high-quality, hy-sterical comedy show.
A space for comedy fans
Our 100-seat theater is comedy-intimate and ADA accessible. You get great sight-lines, comfy seats, private bathrooms, and a concessions stand with moderately-priced snacks and drinks. Everything you need is conveniently located in our space.
Well, almost everything. We don’t serve alcohol. (Thanks Quakers!)
But we are BYOB, that means no markup on liquor. (Thanks Quakers!)
One more thing
Philly audiences have made us the highest-rated comedy show in Philly on Google. That’s, like, awesome.
