 MAY EARLY SHOW, The Comedy Store - 5pm
ComedySportz
ComedySportz takes two teams of the slickest, sharpest minds that comedy has to offer and pits them against each other. Armed with nothing more than the audience’s suggestions and sharply contrasting uniforms, the CSz crew weave comedy gold before your very eyes. No scripts, no shortcuts ... this is comedy without cutting corners; shameless, gleeful fun for everyone young and old.
