ONLINE – It’s hard to find the funny right now. 29 comedy theaters are giving people a chance to laugh and learn together through improvisation. What these companies in common is ComedySportz®, the famous (normally live) all-ages favorite improv show, now in its 36th season.

Together, CSz Companies provide interactive programming for adults and children, improv students and businesses. Parents have something fun and appropriate to do with their kids while quarantined. Managers can help their team make the jump to virtual with support that is fun and engaging. Everyone, these days, is improvising, and ComedySportz is helping.

To find out more, communities can connect with their local CSz Company and ComedySportz team at CSzWorldwide.com, which lists every city in their creative network and information on the virtual programming they are adding every day.

ComedySportz: Virtual Edition

Several ComedySportz teams have taken their critically acclaimed show to the screen with a hilarious virtual match! The virtual match still features our ComedySportz referee and two teams of professional comedians competing for your laughs! Using conferencing platforms like Zoom, audience members participate with suggestions and vote for their favorite team. Diehard fans now can sample ComedySportz teams from around the U.S. and U.K. from their computer.

Children’s Programming

CSz Companies are helping parents get a breather with interactive improv experiences for kids like ReCeSz from CSz Chicago or PHYz ED from CSz Indianapolis. ComedySportz has always paired well with youth-oriented shows and educational experiences, and the virtual world is no exception.

Local CSz Company Content

Most CSz Companies produce more entertainment than just ComedySportz, including improv, sketch, and storytelling. Some are using this time to feature their performers in other formats. Some are all-ages friendly but not all. Check out each individual city’s CSz website for offbeat comedy.

GoFundMe Campaign & Flex Pass / Pre-purchases

Fans can also support their local CSz Companies and their comedians and staff through platforms like GoFundMe or by pre-purchasing ticket packs called “Flex Passes.” Superfans may want to buy Flex Passes now for every city and then, when all this is over, do a tour when all 29 theaters back in live operation!
