Sydney’s best improv comedy show
The Improv Comedy Cagefight Show
This Monday night comedy show is the highest-rated comedy show in Sydney!
Full of nonstop laughs, this is the wildest, most unpredictable and hilarious comedy show. And it’s Sydney’s longest-running comedy battle.
Audience members don't get picked on in this show - you can sit in the front row and laugh without any fear of being targeted by the comedians!
Instead, audience members shout at the comedians, and the comedians have to use this as material for the show.
Think a mishmash between 'Whose Line Is It Anyway' and 'Thank God You're Here'. Live and unfiltered! Unlike stand up comedy, you’ll never hear the same joke twice! Click here for more info about the show.
The Cagefight is in Newtown, in Sydney’s inner west, at The Bank Hotel at 7:30pm each week. Before the show, there’s a class which is just a few extra dollars and a whole lot of fun!

What is improv comedy?
Improv comedy is a blend of a series of various comedy, theatrical and story-telling techniques. Seinfeld, Friends, How I Met Your Mother - all of the most famous television sit-coms are based on improvised comedy techniques.
It is very easy to learn - anyone can begin using improvisation techniques straight away as they have already had a lifetime of storytelling and making things up.
Improv is different from stand up comedy, which requires a lot of writing and is typically a solo activity. Improv involves being on your feet and participating straight away - it’s a team activity and is a great way to meet some new people.
Skilled improvisers will are expert listeners and are incredibly adept at thinking quickly on their feet. Most importantly, they make others around them feel good.
For this reason, many people learn improv to help them in every day scenarios and to improve their careers. Improv techniques will help you to exude charisma and be more confident when you’re in social settings.
The best thing about improv comedy is that unlike stand up, it is far less likely to offend. At our shows, no one in the audience gets picked on. Very rarely will you hear an improviser make a joke that is at the expense of a marginalised group.
And if your thinking ‘where’s the fun in that?!’, we will again point to sit-coms and their popularity. Our shows and classes are designed for those who want to have fun and enjoy themselves, without fear of prejudice or bullying from those onstage with microphones!

Improv is slightly different to stand up comedy as the comedians haven’t written jokes before the show. It is all improvised. Generally, this means that the humour tends to be more good natured and less offensive than stand up comedy.
