Anyone.  Seriously.

We are Rated E For Everyone and our target audience is ages 8 - 80, so the younger crowd and grandparents alike will all have a great time.  Our matches feature clean comedy and we even have fouls in place to keep it that way!

Plus, we were voted Best Inexpensive Place to Bring A Date in the 2009 River Cities’ Reader Best of the Quad Cities poll.

Yes, we are.  A sport, by definition, is any athletic activity requiring skill where teams or individuals engage in competition to attain a victory by points (or other forms of scoring).

That’s what we do.

Yes.

Yes!  You can sign up for our e-mail list through our Online Form as well as stay tuned to our website, Facebook, & Twitter for updates as to when we will be having a special show or event.  We launched our Black & Bluejeans long form improv show in February 2010, as well as debuted our Minor League!  We also have our annual CSz Spooktacular in October.

Of course you can, provided you follow these simple guidelines:

1. • Please let our House Manager know what event you’re celebrating when you arrive at
   

  the theatre.  Reservations are highly recommended for parties & large groups.

1. • Due to health regulations, we do not allow outside food or drink into our venue - this
   

  includes birthday cakes.

1. • We do not provide a serving staff, but you can pick up your food & drinks at our bar.
   

2. • In the case of bachelor/bachelorette parties, we ask that you keep in mind we have
   

  audiences of all ages attending our shows.  Therefore we ask that any inappropriate

  attire or props brought into our theatre (you know the ones we mean) be removed

  from view for the duration of the match.

1. • We reserve the right to cut-off service of alcoholic beverages to any individual or
   

  group determined to be intoxicated to the point of being a nuisance to other patrons or

  otherwise disturbing the match.  Can’t we all just get along?

1. • Continued annoyance by an intoxicated or obstructive individual/group will result in
   

  removal from our theatre with no refund.  And no one wants that, so please drink

  responsibly.

We ask that you follow the simple guidelines above so that everyone can enjoy themselves during the match.

Intern - We are looking for a college-aged, high energy, hard working individual to

             join our team.  Your duties will include assisting the House Manager, Stage

             Manager, Bartender, & Referee as needed during our matches.  While this

             position is unpaid, the experience gained is invaluable as you will receive

             improv training with our troupe & receive free admission to all our matches.

We are the longest running show in the Quad Cities, having been founded in 1990, and celebrated our 20th Anniversary in May & June of 2010.  Be sure to visit our History page for more background information on CSzQC.

The Establishment Theatre does not currently offer any discounted general admission without it being part of a promotion.

The competitive world of improv comedy has no off-season.  We perform shows every Friday & Saturday night all year long - weather permitting.  If the weather outside is indeed frightful, contact our box office to inquire as to the status of that evenings matches.

The Establishment Theatre offers a wide variety of menu options including pulled pork sandwiches, hot dogs, walking tacos, and much more.  We also still serve Huckleberry’s Pizza at halftime of our matches.

With the help of - & our eternal gratitude towards -DARI & the City of Rock Island, ComedySportz Quad Cities has renovated and officially claimed The Establishment Theatre (formally Rocket Theater) in The District of Rock Island as our new home.  We officially resumed play there on Wednesday, November 24, 2010.

ComedySportz Quad Cities embarked on a Fundraising Tour alongside local charities and businesses to help raise funds for their organizations, as well as for needed renovations to our new home.  This tour concluded in October.  Our Touring Company is available for any upcoming fundraiser or event your organization is hosting.

While ComedySportz® is indeed Rated E For Everyone & provides family-friendly entertainment, we are not just an “improv for kids” show.  We do regular performances for colleges, universities, bus tours, company parties, churches, and so many more - all while keeping our material clean.
