COMEDYSPORTZ comes to Pleasant Hill!
Something unique is taking the stage at Pleasant Hill Christian Church. On Friday, March 4th COMEDYSPORTZ will kickoff at 7PM. We all love to laugh, and this is the perfect event to shake off those winter blues. COMEDYSPORTZ is clean, outrageously funny improv (like you’ve seen on television’s “Whose Line Is It Anyway”). But this format is played like a sport. Actually, it’s the perfect combination of Funny and Sports to create an explosion of laughter and competition on stage.
Pleasant Hill staff member Darrin Daugherty explains, “as I was searching for talent to bring to THE HILL, I ran across this COMEDYSPORTZ group out of St Louis, MO. After previewing their friendly competition videos on their website, I knew it would be hilarious to see them live.”
In COMEDYSPORTZ the Red team huddles on one side of the stage, while the Blue team takes their position across the other side. After they are set, the Referee moves to the center of the stage in a black & white zebra style shirt. The audience does not come onto the stage to perform, but they are sometimes involved from the comfort of their chairs.
The referee will ask the audience for input. For example, the referee may ask the audience to yell out a favorite fruit, vehicle, occupation, or anything! The Referee will then compose the action and it is up to the Red & Blue teams to “battle it out”. While both teams are putting their best moves forward, the audience is the judge of this performance. After the action winds down, the teams receive their “scores”. Those “scores” are issued via the laughter & applause from the audience.
The Referee will then award points to the team, and the entire jocularity repeats itself again! COMEDYSPORTZ Talent, Mike McGuire explains that COMEDYSPORTZ entertainment is engaging and appropriate for all ages. Mike shared that no two shows are ever alike. Since the audience helps write the playbook, you never know where the action is headed until the clock starts. The only real rule is that there are not many rules!
Tickets to see this talent rich group are only $10.00 each. The teams will be competing for approximately 90 minutes. An intermission will occur. During the intermission, Daugherty promises “hydration & a snack” will be available to all the audience members who have purchased tickets online in advance. (Obviously pre-purchased tickets will allow Daugherty to gauge his purchases to prepare for the evening.) If tickets remain, they will be available at the door for $15, but may not include the intermission refreshments.
Pleasant Hill Christian Church is conveniently located at 19433 West Frontage Road, Raymond, IL. Darrin can be reached at 217.229.3074. To see a preview of COMEDYSPORTZ, see their site at www.cszstlouis.com.
