Laugh Tracking
If you’ve been to ComedySportz on Mass Ave, you know the drill practiced in 25 cities around the world where CSz has a presence: team improv, a referee in zebra stripes, no foul language, loudest applause wins. And audience members who let an obscenity fly must wear a brown bag on their head.

Still, Indy won’t necessarily have the last laugh. Veteran player Claire Wilcher, who roadtripped to all American CSz cities last year in an RV named Large Marge, revisited her travelogue to size up the opponents.
