⚔️ Cagematch
The ultimate improv competition at The Improv Shop in St. Louis.
How It Works
Cagematch, originally created by Kevin Mullaney (former Artistic Director at UCB Theater), is a friendly, competitive longform improv show where two teams go head-to-head and the audience votes for their favorite. The winning team defends their title the following week — always. Winners advance through a tournament bracket until a season champion is crowned.
