If you don’t know what this word means, you’ll certainly want to find out. Theatresports is undoubtedly one of the funniest, most unpredictable comedy acts you are ever likely to witness. With a good team and some witty remarks, Theatresports will literally bring you to tears. The contestants arrive on stage, completely unprepared, with only the knowledge of a few simple games to their advantage. They work in teams to respond to audience suggestions and callouts – animals, occupations, locations – and compete for the judges’ approval. Theatresports essentially throws them far, far out in the deep end. This comedy challenge is not about preparation. It is based solely on improvisation and a knack for thinking on your feet. And that’s why it is so damn entertaining to watch. The emphasis of Theatresports is on building characters and on spontaneous, collaborative storytelling. Shows pop up left, right and centre, as this craze of improvised comedy takes charge. Here, we’ve found some of the best places to witness these hilarious train wrecks, because lets face it, we’re all just glad its not us out there. Let the comedy and chaos ensue…

Australia’s ultimate comedy smack-down, the Theatresports Cranston Cup Grand Final is the big night of the year, where the best comic improvisers put their wit and courage to the test.
