Did you know Claremont High School has a Comedy Sportz team? Check out the fun with the G-rated show. Go to the Claremont High School website to purchase tickets. http://chstheatre.cusd.claremont.edu/2022-2023-season.html

Comedy Sportz is a fast-paced show, driven by fan suggestions and improvised on the spot. Two teams compete for laughs and points, and the audience decides who wins. The referee (usually a player for Comedy Sportz Los Angeles) keeps things moving and calls the fouls, such as the brown bag foul (for jokes that are not in good taste) and the groaner foul (for any joke so bad, the audience can't help but groan). Comedy Sportz is G-rated, side-splitting fun for the whole family!
