Theatresports

Theatresports is organised improvisational theatre, where teams of players perform brief 'games' for points. The games are all designed to provide a framework to allow the players' improvisional talents to shine. Developed by director Keith Johnstone in Calgary, Alberta, in 1977, he owns the copyright and trademark.

As seen on TV:


 * Whose Line Is It Anyway?
 * Thank God You're Here
 * Comedy Sportz
 * Theatresports, run during the 80s on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, launching the careers of Andrew Denton, Glenn Robbins and Shaun Micaleff
 * Fast And Loose, short-lived BBC show from 2011 hosted by Hugh Dennis. The chief novelty was having one of the scenes done against a green screen- flat on the floor, so that performers have to wriggle across the floor to move around, but make it look like they are walking... Better Than It Sounds.

Actual Theatre:


 * Celebrity Theatresports, part of the Melbourne Comedy Festival.
