ComedySportz,
The
Comedy Store - 5pm |
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 audiences 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. Part of the
Not Part Of festival in Manchester. |
