This August, BATS Improv, San Francisco’s premier improvisational theater company, invites audiences to experience the thrill of live competition with the return of fan-favorite “TheatresportsTM: Duos.”
Every Saturday in August, at 8:00 PM, the historic Bayfront Theater at Fort Mason Center will transform into an arena of spontaneous storytelling and laughter. Under the direction of BATS Company Member Paul Killam, “TheatresportsTM: Duos” showcases the best of improvised theater as two teams of two performers face off in a series of fast-paced, audience-driven scenes and songs. A panel of expert judges will score each round, until the ultimate Champion is decided.
“Every show presents the ultimate judgement, between the glorious title of ‘Champion’ or the ignominious sobriquets ‘loser’, ‘clunker’, or ‘dud.’ says Killam. “The difference between heaven and hell for these brave warriors of spontaneity is often decided in the very last round by a single point!”
Tickets for TheatresportsTM Duos! range from $5-$25, and may be purchased online or in person beginning half-hour before the performance, subject to availability. All performances take place in BATS Bayfront Theatre in the historic Landmark Building B on the Fort Mason campus in San Francisco. Paid parking is available in the adjoining lot.

While we may invite audience members to join us on stage, it’s always your choice—and if you do, we’ll treat you with the same respect and playfulness that we bring to the entire show. No embarrassment, no mean-spirited jokes—just a fun, welcoming experience for everyone.
So sit where you like, relax, and enjoy the show!
