31 Fun Date Ideas Around Indianapolis for Couples

Tracy Snyder Molina said:  A ComedySportz match features two teams of players competing for laughs and points, with a referee keeping things moving and calling fouls. If an "actlete" steps beyond the boundaries of good taste, the “brown bag foul” (a brown paper sack placed over the offending player’s head) will be called to set things straight. Every show is different, with different players, different games, and different audiences supplying new suggestions. The fans judge the scenes and games and ultimately decide the winners and losers.
