ComedySportz Twin Cities

This place is fantastic! We went to the early show and laughed our heads off. The games were pretty standard for an improv troupe - but with a few unique twists that helped keep the evening exciting and fun.The talent was amazing, definitely the best I've seen in the twin cities. They also were well versed, taking on improvised songs as expertly as they implemented random selections from the audience.The environment is great: clean, accessible, and family friendly. I know I will be returning and I'd highly recommend anyone else do the same.

I used Comedy Sportz for a holiday corporate event of 300 guests. Doug and his crew did a fantastic job with keeping the crowds entertained. Lots of laughs and audience participation. Looking for clean entertainment, ComedySportz is ideal for groups of all ages.

While the view from all seats are actually ok, I'd recommend avoiding the first few rows since the stage is so close. If you like staring at feet and kneecaps, then disregard, otherwise try something in the middle and back (either side)This was my second time at C.S. and I enjoyed it. Cant recall what I saw the first time around, but this time I went to see The Main Event on a Saturday night. The improv actors along with the emcee (a.k.a) referee and "d.j" a.k.a announcer did a really good job entertaining and engaging the audience. For several of the skits they solicited the crowed for the topics, phrases, etc. and boy did they have some tough ones thrown at them. However, taking it in stride and doing the best they could...they managed to put it all together and keep me (and the crowd) laughing. My only challenge for the night was following the points system they utilized for game. The Main Event was basically a competition where two teams competed for laughs while sticking to certain rules. Points were awarded for various reasons (i.e.; most applause, guessing correctly, etc.). However, 8/10 the system for getting points made no sense to me. Therefor, I just disregarded that part of the game and just focused on the content which allowed me to just enjoy the comedic experience. Although I'm rating C.S. as OK for now, I'd recommend it to others. I'd also suggest they stop by Amazing Thailand afterwards for late night HH and interesting (in a good way) ambiance.

One 10 year-old gave it a 10 out of 10 rating, one gave it a 6 out of 10 rating. They worked hard to keep it clean for the kids at this very specifically family friendly show. They take suggestions from the audience and asked for no political to try to keep it light and fun. Some references were above their heads and on the edge i.e. Lindsay Lohan. But some were pretty funny, not bust a stomach funny, but funny, "No, no, we don't need a menu I'll have three bananas and my date will have a bag of farts." They also change the format of the improv so that sometimes they're working in a "foursquare" which changes quickly, one of my favorites being one of the guys goes in a soundproof room and the audience picks these scenarios to act out. The team helping him cannot use real words, just nonsense words and actions. One was napping on a bed of snails and doing something else I couldn't remember. It was amazing how close they can get! If you order tickets over the phone there's no service charge. If you order them online there's around a two dollar service charge. The place was packed so I would suggest ordering in advance, although it was a Saturday night. They perform Thursday night Friday night and Saturday night. The later shows are in NC-17 rated and naughtier.

I can't believe I haven't heard of this place before! We went for a Bachelorette party and I was laughing my ass off! Tickets are super affordable, parking is easy, and it's located in the heart of Uptown. Basically, it's an improv show with skits and games similar to the show Whose Line is it Anyway.My only complaint is the seating. Space is very limited and if you aren't some of the 1st in line, it may be difficult to see. I'm very short and ended up having to sit behind a 6' something guy, so I had to strain my head from time to time.A perfect night out activity! They offer a family show and an adult show as well so you never have to wonder whether the show if going to be appropriate for a 10 year old, or not vulgar enough for your 21st birthday. Lots of fun!

First of all, the location is excellent. It is right in Calhoun Square in Uptown so it is very convenient if you are planning a night on the town. I had a group of people come for my birthday party and we stopped for appetizers & drinks at the Independent first. Then we teetered upstairs for the show (we reserved tickets which was super convenient). I have been there on a date as well. Both shows were funny, good quality comedy. Make this a part of your night in Uptown.

What's harder than being funny on command in front of people? Being funny without relying on shock value or profanity. Really a skill. I'm going to echo everyone below who was skeptical coming here, who has high comedy standards, and didn't think they'd like clean comedy. Me too. Me neither. Yes.My husband and I (late 20s, love stand-up) came here on a Saturday night, and we could not have had a better time. Yes, there were some kids in the crowd. I didn't have a problem with that. I was laughing aloud almost continuously. These people are inherently, naturally, hilarious. You just can't teach what they have.I'll definitely be back, and I might bring my 8-year-old. This would be great for all ages. I'd go here for a girls' night or for a family outing.

This a review for the Improv Classes only. This is my story. I signed up for the Improv 101 classes. This was all new to me. Thought it would be fun. I live in the rural area outside of Minneapolis, so I drove 40 minutes to enjoy fun and create comedy with other non-comedy people. Other average people.Not what happened. Let me explain... This is all new to me. So, during one of the warm-up exercises. It was the one-word poem exercise. Sounds cool.The fours words leading up to me, were, "The"..."Cows"... "Were"... "Making"... Which then left me to think up a word that kept the poem alive... I picked the word "Whoopie". The room stopped. 3 to 4 people in the group, which told me that the word Whoopie was inappropriate, and I needed to change the word choice right away. They all had urgency in their voices... I was taken aback...What? My word "Whoopie" caused you to stop everything? I was only doing what felt natural. I was told by 4 people that my improv was wrong. I needed to change my word choice. WTF? Really? Whoopie? Woke people are everywhere. They stand and make you feel shamed into thinking just like them. No more free expression. All this shaming because of the word Whoopie?If you're thinking of taking Improv classes at Comedy Sportz. Read what I've experienced and go if you want. I'm totally off this group. Nothing personal Comedy S, your people are too judgmental of everyone outside their circle. I said the word, WHOOPIE? REALLY? I'll keep telling everyone how your people shamed the heck out of me that night at class. I'm hurt. TD RiggsComedian.P.S. I did talk to the class teacher later during break. He didn't seem to care. The second half of the class, those same people talked comedy about mating with animals and breeding to make animal children. What? Bestiality is OK, but Whoopie isn't?Run far away from the hypocrisy of these classes, less you want to become them. lol. Hated the feeling they gave me.

ComedySportz is AMAZE-BALLS! Seeing everyone perform is just so impressive--they are all so hilarious and talented. It was so much fun laughing for an hour-plus during the show--definitely a great ideas for parties, nights out, work events, etc. I also took Improv 101 and 201 and look forward to taking 301. I have never done any improv before, so it was scary, but the instructors are so kind and encouraging, and they kept us laughing throughout the class. They are so personable that they make it an easy and comfortable class to grow and make mistakes in. I appreciate everything that Philip, Michael, Doug, and the rest of the ComedySportz team has done! Thank you!

Good, clean, gut-bustingly funny family fun! These fully improvised shows are different every time. It's amazing how to watch how fast the performers think and react and come up with scenes on the fly. The audience gives them subjects to work with, then they riff from there. They make a point of stating up front that it's a family-friendly show and anyone who doesn't respect that (cast and/or audience) has to wear a brown bag over their head for the rest of the skit. Highly recommended for pretty much any occasion where laughter is welcomed!
