Celebrities’ acting and comedy skills will be put to the test this August for Celebrity Theatresports.

Celebrities and improvisers will get onstage sans script to make up comedy scenes on the spot from audience suggestions.

This night of whim will take shape with theatre games, challenges and comedy skits, and professional actors will battle it out for the highest score.

This year’s celebrity ensemble includes The X-Files’ ‘lone gunman’ Dean Haglund;Star Wars, Home And Away, Lion King and Play School‘sJay Laga’aia;Thank God You’re Here’s Nicola Parry and Daniel Cordeaux; Celeste Barber from How Not To Behave and All Saints; and Bjorn Stewart from ABC TV’s Black Comedy.

The show is raising money for Impro Australia’s new Indigenous Theatresports Youth Fund, aimed at bringing free Theatresports shows and training to indigenous youth across the state. The first project kicks off in October at the Redfern Community Centre with plans to extend to the rest of Sydney, regional NSW and remote communities.

Celebrity Theatresports takes place at the Enmore Theatre on Saturday August 6. Tickets start from $28.55 and can be bought here. For more info visit the website here.
