ComedySportz NOLA

Saturday, July 26, 2008 @ 8:30 pm

For two years La Nuit has produced New Orleans' friendliest weekly comedy show. The traditional format of a ComedySportz (CSz) show features two teams of improvisational performers (Actletes), competing in various improv games and performing scenes with audience members judging the results and awarding points. In every show, a CSz referee monitors the action, awarding points and administering fouls as necessary. ComedySportz is clean comedy, great for all ages and groups.

God's Been Drinking

Every Friday at 10pm.

New Orleans' longest-running "Long-Form" improv team, GBD is a squad of veteran improvisers who take only one audience suggestion and create what is essentially a one-act play with recurring characters and themes, but audiences are equally likely to be treated to non-sequitur antics that seemingly come from nowhere. GBD is always pushing the boundaries of what improv can do, but you can count on the result of their experimentation to be hilarious.
