The hilarious, brilliant, thrilling Celebrity TheatreSports show on August 25 will feature some of the Central Coast’s best comedians thrown in the deep end to play classic theatre games and compete in challenges – all without a script.
Described as the impro gala event of the year, the show is supporting Canteen, an organisation supporting young people aged 12-25 when cancer turns their world upside down.
This is improvised comedy at its biggest and best and will be held on Sunday, August 25, at 4pm at Enmore Theatre, Newtown.
Teams featuring impro legends including Ewan Campbell from Gorokan and Kate Coates of Gosford, and celebrity guests like Avoca Beach’s Rob Carlton, will go head-to-head, competing for audience laughs and the judges’ scores in a battle of wits to win the coveted Celebrity TheatreSports Cup.
It’s on-the-spot, seat-of-the-pants comedy, with whacky games, musical and song challenges and comedy skits.
There’s no rehearsal, no prep time and no safety net.
Aside from Carlton, the celebrity guest line-up includes Concetta Caristo (Taskmaster Australia, JJJ), Daniel Cordeaux (Thank God You’re Here), Ben Fordham (2GB, Australian Ninja Warrior), Osher Gunsberg (The Bachelor, The Masked Singer), Brendan Jones (2WS-FM), Mara Lejins (The Chase) Rove McManus (Rove Live, Whovians), Joji Malani (original legendary guitarist Gang Of Youths), Gabby Millgate (Muriel’s Wedding, Babe: Pig In The City), Montaigne (Eurovision), Nicola Parry (Thank God You’re Here), Jioji Ravulo (Housos) and Adam Spencer (radio/media host, maths geek and author).
Aside from Campbell and Coates, the impro legends include Ryan Atkins, David Callan, Murray Fahey, Happy Feraren, Orya Golgowsky, Jordan Gregory-Dunsmore, John Knowles, host Steve Lynch, Lisa Ricketts, host Jane Simmons, Amy Tustian, Jane Watt and Kate Wilkins.
Directed and produced by Julie Dunsmore and Michael Gregory, the show also features improvising musicians Nick Harriot and James Tarbotton.
