CSz Philadelphia - Home of ComedySportz announces the return of the Collegiate Comedy Challenge, a four-day improv comedy competition where local college improv teams compete for fun and laughs.

And a trophy. 

The Collegiate Comedy Challenge is February 7, 14, and 21 @ 8PM. The Championship Round is February 28 @ 8PM.

This year, we asked the teams some probing questions about themselves and improv. Their answers are below.

Riot Act - University of Delaware

Q: If your team was a team of crime fighting superheroes, what super power would you all have and why?

A: If we were super hero’s our power would be to shape shift. We all enjoy switching characters and personalities so it would only make our hero disguises that much better. 

Q: If your team had a theme song, what would it be and why?

A: Copacabana would be our song. It is a fun mix of something kinda dark masquerading as something playful and funny. 

Q: If your team were an animal, what animal would you be and why?

A: As an animal our team would be a peacock because we our proud of our lovely and distracting appearance even though it might cause us to get eaten by a tiger.

Q: What is your favorite thing about doing improv? 

A: Our favorite thing about improv is that you can have a conversation later about things that “happened” that make perfect sense only to the people who were involved. Everyone else thinks you’re on acid. 

Performs Friday February 7th @ 8PM.

Soviet Purgatory - Albright College

Q: If your team was a team of crime fighting superheroes, what super power would you all have and why?

A: Our superpower would be calligraphy because we all have wanted to learn it and it would put this city on the "write" track.

Q: If your team had a theme song, what would it be and why?

A: Our theme song would be "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" by Poison because one of our teammates hates Bret Michaels a lot so, just to upset her, we chose this song.

Q: If your team were an animal, what animal would you be and why?

A: If we were all an animal, we would be a flounder, specifically Flounder from "The Little Mermaid" because one of our teammates was Flounder in a production of "The Little Mermaid" and the rest of us "flounder" on stage.

Q: What is your favorite thing about doing improv? 

A: Our favorite thing about improv is having fun as an ensemble and making our mentor, Matt, watch us do bad improv in rehearsal. 

Performs Friday February 7th @ 8PM.

Without A Net - University of Pennsylvania

Q: If your team was a team of crime fighting superheroes, what super power would you all have and why?

A: Fly...

Q: If your team had a theme song, what would it be and why?

A: Free Fallin’ because we lack a net.

Q: If your team were an animal, what animal would you be and why?

A: Sloth, also our favorite sin.

Q: What is your favorite thing about doing improv? 

A: Breaking.

Without A Net are the reigning champions of the CCC. See them defend their title on Friday February 7th @ 8PM.
