Since 2004, ComedySportz® New York has been entertaining fans with the fastest and funniest form of improv comedy in the Big Apple.
Two teams of improvisers vie for points in a hilarious competition by playing a series of improv games, similar to what yo may have seen on TV’s Whose Line Is It Anyway? A referee governs the action, calling fouls and keeping the match moving at a blistering pace. The audience is always a part of the interactive show, and audience volunteers sometimes even wind up on stage!
Because everything is improvised, it’s never the same show twice. And it’s clean–appropriate for all ages. Every ComedySportz® match is a unique and unforgettable event–laughs guaranteed! Come see why so many people come back to see us again and again.

ComedySportz® New York is a fast paced, interactive improvised comedy show played as a sport. Two teams of improvisers face off funny bone to funny bone and vie for your applause and laughter. The ref keeps the match going by getting suggestions from you, our loyal fans, that the players use to create everything that you will see and hear during the match. At the end of the match you, the loyal fans, will choose a winner and that team will be victorious!
