2017 ComedySportz World Championships
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Hammer Theater Center
(see times)
25 ComedySportz teams from the United States and Europe will come together to battle for laughs. (See list of participating cities below) This 30th annual event is fun, fast-paced, family-friendly improvisational comedy, played as a sport. Two teams take turns making up scenes, playing games and singing songs – and the audience votes on which team they like the best. If a player (or fan) uses crude humor the referee can call the “Brown Bag” foul and place a paper bag over the offenders head. This is serious funny business.
The four-day event – featuring workshops, public performances and impromptu improvisation sessions stretching into the early morning hours – kicks off on Wednesday at 7:30pm. San Jose’s own venerable ComedySportz team, founded in 1987 will participate in the opening match.
By midnight July 1st, after that evening’s 9:30pm championship match, one team will emerge victorious.
