The ComedyWorx Show
Laughs, Competition, and Pure Improv Mayhem!
Our flagship show has been serving up non-stop laughter since 1989—that’s over three decades of hilarity! Whether you’re 2 or 102, we guarantee a night of fun that’ll have you rolling in your seat.
Here’s the deal: Two teams of quick-thinking comedians go head-to-head in a high-energy, competitive improv showdown—playing fast, hilarious games all fueled by your suggestions!
Guiding the madness? A whistle-blowing, rule-enforcing Referee and the ever-mysterious Voice (not the NBC show, we checked). The Voice provides epic sound effects, music, and—most importantly—some of the best (or worst?) dad jokes in town.
Want more power? Grab a Paddle of Justice and wield your fate-altering powers to help decide who wins!

Looking for an afternoon boost of laughter? Our ComedyWorx Matinee delivers all the fast-paced, family-friendly improv fun in a shorter show—perfect for kids, comedy lovers, and anyone who just can’t wait for nighttime to start laughing!
Two teams of quick-witted comedians go head-to-head, battling for your laughs and your votes in a high-energy improv showdown. The Referee keeps the chaos (somewhat) under control, while the all-powerful Voice (not the TV show, we promise) adds music, sound effects, and some truly next-level dad jokes.
✨ Want to shake things up? Grab a Paddle of Justice and help decide which team reigns supreme!
