Theatresports

Theatresports is organised improvisational theatre, where teams of players perform brief 'games' for points. The games are all designed to provide a framework to allow the players' improvisional talents to shine. Developed by director Keith Johnstone in Calgary, Alberta, in 1977, he owns the copyright and trademark.

As seen on TV:

Whose Line Is It Anyway?
Thank God You're Here
Comedy Sportz
Theatresports, run during the 80s on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, launching the careers of Andrew Denton, Glenn Robbins and Shaun Micaleff
Fast And Loose, short-lived BBC show from 2011 hosted by Hugh Dennis. The chief novelty was having one of the scenes done against a green screen- flat on the floor, so that performers have to wriggle across the floor to move around, but make it look like they are walking... Better Than It Sounds.
