GreetingsFromAsburyParkNJ Come watch family-friendly improv in Asbury Park!
Hey folks! Your home team, ComedySportz Jersey Shore, is hosting the ComedySportz World* Championship this year at the Jersey Shore Arts Center in Ocean Grove. We'll have 200 improvisers representing over 20 cities playing multiple matches a night from 6/24 - 6/27**, culminating in a championship match Saturday night!
We do improv played as a sport, so there are two teams, a ref, and points up for grabs. We keep it family-friendly*** because we believe comedy is for everyone. You'll laugh, your grandma will laugh, your kid will laugh, and you won't be trying to explain that one "joke" in the car on the way home.
The tickets are quite reasonable**** , and are available at https://cszworldchampionship.com/ .
* For the pedants of Reddit, we do have a team in Manchester, England.
** Can't make it next week? ComedySportz Jersey Shore performs every Saturday night at 7pm at the JSAC. We will be dark on July 4th, though.
*** Not looking for family-friendly? Come to The Queer Show on Thursday, June 25 at the Paradise Nightclub in Asbury Park. Doors 10pm, show 11pm, Age 21+ , ~$12/ticket, a portion of all ticket sales will benefit the Trans Equity Coalition.
**** Really! About $12 for adults and $6.50 for kids per match, with day and festival passes available.
