Improv Level 1 Starting Saturday, May 6th

There's no script for life, so we must improvise as we go! You'll feel more comfortable with this after our classes, and you'll have fun while you learn. This introductory workshop emphasizes basic improvisational skills by exploring spontaneity, staying in the moment, risk-taking (getting out of your comfort zone), finding the story within the scene, developing characters, and other fun skills in a relaxed and supportive environment. Led by Director of Education and seasoned CSz professional Brendon Duran, the participants are led through a variety of games and workshops that work on and incorporate the skills that are used in improvisational comedy, including focus, concentration, teamwork, scene work, and trust. Vocal training necessary for performance and public speaking is also weaved into the class. You will learn to be fearless and have fun on stage! Laughter and positive vibes are guaranteed. Level One will end with a special class performance.

November Special

Give and get this November!

For the entire month of November, if you bring any non-perishable food item or socks to CSz Houston, you will receive a free pair of swatters to use to vote during any ComedySportz match for the rest of time! All food and socks will be donated to the homeless shelters here in East Downtown.

What do I bring?

Canned food is always great! Things that are easily heated up and made will always be useful as long as they don't have to be refrigerated. Additionally, heavy duty socks are always a huge asset! If you have any other questions, please feel free to call the box office at 713.868.1444.

 

CSz Houston is celebrating 26 years!

Can you believe it?

It seems like yesterday we were celebrating our 25th anniversary in City Centre and now here we are a full year later in our own arena downtown! We are so incredibly proud to be able to have had another year of laughs with this city!

 

We've come full circle...sort of.

An interesting tid bit of information to note about ComedySportz is that we actually started inside the loop 26 years ago at the River Cafe in Montrose! Nowadays, many people still associate us with our many wonderful years on the west side of Houston and we are thankful for over a decade of success there. We still love everyone in West Houston and Katy and promise that we are bringing the same ComedySportz matches you know and love downtown and are working to bring even more to you! Come say hello downtown!

 

Saturday, November 12th

We are having our special match on the 12th of November! We are already over half way sold out for this show so make sure to get your tickets pronto! 

 

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

We can't tell you enough how much we have appreciate the support Houston has shown us all of these years. We are proud to be a part of the communities entertainment history and are excited for our next chapter in east downtown next to minute maid park!
