The Comedy Olympics

Let the games (and laughs) begin!

It’s time to light the cauldron and stretch those laughing muscles as Room for IMPROVment comes to the Side Door Theatre for the most hilarious sporting event of the year: The Comedy Olympics!

Many teams from around the globe (Wollongong) will compete in a series of improv comedy events for ultimate glory (hand-me-down medals) in the hope of being crowned the funniest nation (team) on the planet (Wollongong). Cheer on your favourites to gold as our brave comedians compete for your laughs in scenes, songs and games in a night of comedy that combines the beloved improv you know from shows such as Whose Line Is It Anyway with all the spectacle and intensity of a sports game.

The Comedy Olympics promises to be a hilarious, interactive night of comedy where everything is made up on the spot based on your suggestions; so, whether you’ve never seen us before, or you’ve seen us a hundred times, there’ll always be something new. From improvised, show-stopping musicals to crazy challenges based on Olympic events, there’s nothing our comedians won’t do to tickle your funny bone in their pursuit to be crowned the Comedy Olympic champions.

Doors/bar open at 8pm ahead of an 8:15pm showtime.
This is a free event as part of the Wollongong Comedy Festival Drop In which is supported by Wollongong City Council. We recommend reserving your spot in advance to avoid disappointment on the night as space for walk-ups can't be guaranteed.
