BATS Improv keeps 2017 raucous with a spirited, high-stakes tournament with plenty of audience interaction and lively competition at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture. Starting in June, teams of improvisers from the BATS Improv’s main stage company face-off in fast-paced segments featuring games, scenes, and songs based on audience suggestions.

Olympic-style judges award points to each team, and at the end of the evening, the high-scoring team advances on to the following week’s contest.

The Summer Games really heat up as the final competition match draws closer and frenzied improvisers accelerate the action in an effort to win the right to be the challengers in BATS’ annual grudge match against Los Angeles Impro Theatre on Friday, August 4, 2017.
