ComedySportz Houston

Founded in 1990, ComedySportz Houston provides an interactive, competitive improv show to audiences of all ages. The show is comedy played as a sport, not comedy about sports, pitting two teams of improvisers in a battle for laughs and points in scenes, games, and songs based on audience suggestions. The improv teams keep the comedy clean, with fouls issued to transgressors. Concessions are available in the theater.
