🎃 ComedySportz Halloween Spooktacular
📆 Saturday 28 October, 6.30pm
📍Waterside Arts, Waterside Plaza, Sale, M33 7ZF
🤑 £8 Adults | £6 Concessions
There will be some frightfully funny shenanigans with ComedySportz at Waterside Arts in Sale this Halloween. This award-winning comedy show returns this October with more ghoulish gags and games to get you screaming with laughter.
The group has been entertaining audiences of all ages at Waterside Arts since 2010. In a regular ComedySportz match, two teams of top comic minds compete for laughs with quick-witted sketches, jokes and songs inspired by audience suggestions. There’s a referee on hand to ensure a good clean match with penalties for bad behaviour and bad jokes, with plenty of fun for everyone.
This time, however, the team are adding a little pumpkin spice to proceedings as the Dead and Boo teams – normally the Red and Blue teams – aim to raise a laugh and hopefully not raise the dead. The team also promise there will be treats for anyone in costume... or will it be a trick? Find out on 28 October!
