ComedySportz touched down at USI Tuesday night.

The improv show came down from Indianapolis thanks to USI’s Activity Programming Board (APB), who hosted the event.

The show has two teams that compete games against each other, taking suggestions from the crowd. A referee mediates between the teams.

Junior physics and Spanish major Sam Barnett volunteered to give sound effects for an act the blue team put on.

The act became known as the “fart hands” and won the audience over for the blue team.

Barnett said even though the crowd was small, they participated.

“We had a good group come out tonight,” Barnett said. “I think everyone had a good time.”

He said his favorite part of the show was “clap clap Todd.”

Crowd favorite Todd had members last year clap twice before anyone said his name. The game carried over to this year’s show.

Sophomore advertising major Micah Red Elk saw the ComedySportz show during Spring 2012 and always clapped for Todd.

“(The show) was really funny,” he said.

Red Elk said he liked the game where the audience picked five different activities. For example, the ComedySportz team had to act out “playing hacky sack with the Motly Crue” and the hacky sack was Nicki Minaj’s head. Red team member Claire entered the game without knowledge of what the activity was, and she had to guess what her teammates were acting out. Her partner gave clues through actions and jibber talk (no actual words allowed).

The audience scored the teams on whichever one they favored the most. Fouls were called on the red team.

Crowd favorite and red team member Todd let a curse word escape from his lips, frustrated that he couldn’t think of a “When I was your age…” line.

Audience members decided to call the “brown-bag foul.”

A brown-bag foul is when a team member or even an audience member says something inappropriate – ComedySportz is for all ages. The naughty person – in this case, Todd – has to keep a brown bag over his head for the rest of the act or scene.

ComedySportz member Chad Woodward approached the stage as “The Voice,” the host.

He said ComedySportz has loved USI’s audience.

“You guys have a great audience, one that remembers us,” he said.

The games that are played on any show are general games, he said.

“Everything is made up on the spot – with suggestions from the audience,” Woodward said. “It changes up the game every time.”

This year is Woodward’s fifth year at ComedySportz in Indianapolis, and coming this February, ComedySportz approaches its 20th year.

ComedySportz puts on shows every Thursday, Friday and Saturday – $15 for adults.
