Do you have relatives visiting for the holidays that you just can’t stand talking to? Are you looking for a way to give your family a positive holiday experience, by spending time with them without having to engage in conversation? If so, come to ComedySportz: the interactive improv experience in Dallas’s West End Marketplace. We play every Friday and Saturday from now til the New Year, with two shows on New Year’s Eve, as well.

ComedySportz shows begin at 8:00 PM (doors open at 7:30), and are family-friendly. They’re child-safe without being childish, and more fun than eating leftover turkey in front of the open refrigerator at midnight. The ComedySportz Arena sells salty and sweet snacks (“sugar in solid and liquid forms”) but alcohol is BYOB.

Tickets for regular shows are $12 in advance (order by web or by phone), $15 at the door, and reservations are strongly suggested. To make reservations, visit the CSz website at www.comedysportzdfw.com or call (214)-521-LAFF ((214) 521-5233).

This Saturday, November 25th, we’re also having a 10:30 PM “blue show,” which features your favorite ComedySportz playerz uncensored. (The blue show is NOT a ComedySportz show and you must be 18 or older to attend). Come laugh off that third slice of pumpkin pie.

I’d love for all of you to come to see the show on any weekend, but I’d prefer that you come when I’m actually playing. My scheduled performance dates for the 2006 Holiday Season are December 8th, 15th, 16th, 22nd and 30th.
