ComedySportz Detroit Audition FAQ.

What is ComedySportz®?
ComedySportz® Detroit is a part of a global network (Csz Worldwide) that aims to transform the world through laughter. Csz Worldwide has 25 ComedySportz locations around the USA and Europe and is one of the top 5 professional Improv groups and training programs in the North America. For more information on CSz Worldwide, its cities and 35-year history, visit cszworldwide.com.

A ComedySportz® match features two teams of players competing for laughs and points, with a referee keeping things moving and calling fouls. An average of seven to twelve games are played during a match, drawn from a repertoire of over a hundred improv games. Every match is different, with different players, different games, and different audiences supplying new suggestions. The fans judge the scenes and games and ultimately decide the winner of the match. ComedySportz is an all-ages show.

Who can attend Auditions?
Auditions are open to energetic, team-oriented people with a great attitude age 18 and older. If you have experience/training in live performance, acting, improv or interactive theatre (murder mysteries etc) that can be helpful. No specific experience is required to audition. We are also looking to expand our team building and corporate entertainment division so experience in either of these areas is also helpful but not required.
