If you like improvised comedy then you'll love comedy Sportz. We caught up with the troupe to find out more about their show at the Manchester Comedy Festival...

What is your show about?

ComedySportz UK is the North West's top improvised comedy troupe. ComedySportz is a fast-paced improv comedy show where two teams battle it out for the biggest laughs. The players create quick witted sketches, scenes and songs from whatever suggestions are thrown at them by the audience to create a show that's fast, feel-good and always unpredictably funny. There's a referee on hand to steer the entertainment, call any fouls, and help the audience decide the winner.

What has been the highlight of your comedy career thus far?

Performing ComedySportz on stage in Los Angeles, just off Hollywood Boulevard, with three more of our troupe and winning our match against New Orleans (the DAY the hurricane hit... yeah we felt a bit bad afterwards). The stage was once used by Elvis.

Finish this sentence: "If you like Whose Line Is It Anyway, then you'll like my show"

What will you do in the hour before your show?

Warm up ferociously. Probably hug. Get all our rude words out (as ours is a family friendly show).

Name 3 other comics you would recommend seeing.

Ross Noble, Armstrong and Miller and Danny Pensive (AKA John Cooper)
