CELEBRITY THEATRESPORTS™ 2024
Sunday 25 August 2024 at 4pm at the Enmore Theatre
Presented By Impro Australia
The best OF TheatreSports™ champion improvisors mixing it up with some of the bravest celebrities. Be they known in sports, media or radio, musicians or actors on film or TV, writers and podcasters; one thing is certain we are all here for one thing. The support of the amazing charity CANTEEN.
What a list has come to town. Along with out-of-town Celebrities wishing a game challenge as pre recorded voice over. (Rove McManus, Kitty Flanagan, Susie Youssef, Peter Berner.) Bravo Julie Dunsmore the director who initiated this cup challenge many years ago. Host Steve Lynch and Timekeeper Jane Simmons wrangled well the audience, some of whom were first timers and the players. Live musicians also improvised along with the talent and did a splendid job, Nick Harriot and James Tarbotton.
Celebrity went all the way to the top with the Judges including legend godmother of Theatresports in Australia Lyn Pierse, Liz Hovey (oncologist) and Celebrity Annabel Crabb.
Classic games were the set up and we loved the emotional rollercoaster, expert double figures and sing about it all making an appearance. The Act 2 games lifted us even further with the collaboration on high rotation given it is a championship in name only. So with Shakespeare off grid, a typewriter street party and a Coffee Wars character swap, there was only one remedy – impro mayhem.
If you want to get to know what all these game names mean – come along next time. I can tease you with the team names and their players – all stars tonight.
