As playoff action heats up the ice at TD Garden, and a new World Series pennant rises at Fenway Park, two more Boston teams are gearing up for the long-anticipated arrival of Spring and a crack at the big leagues. Put a sporting twist on TV's “Whose Line is it Anyway?” and you have ComedySportz Boston (CSzBos), where two teams of improvisational “Actletes” compete for laughs, points, and every night, the Stanley Cup's lesser-known cousin-the Meaningless Trophy. Like any championship league, matches rely on Loyal Fanz in the audience to offer suggestions, and a referee calls any fouls and keeps the action moving.

This spring, after six months of successful weekends at Somerville’s Davis Square Theatre, CSzBos broadens its horizons with its first “ downtown” matches and an upcoming multi-city team tournament/benefit.

Back at Davis Square Theatre, ComedySportz Boston NorthEast teams from New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. for a ComedySportz Boston NorthEast Tournament and Benefit during the April 18-19 Boston Marathon weekend. A portion of proceeds go to the Sean Collier Memorial Scholarship Fund.

On the road again on May 3, CSzBos performs a free ‘pop-up travel’ show at the Oak Square YMCA, co-sponsored by Brighton Main Streets and the YMCA of Greater Boston.

And never forgetting any athlete's or "actlete's" #1 fan is (usually) Mom, the teams return to Davis Square Theatre on May 11 for a Mother's Day brunch and match, part of the 2014 Women in Comedy Festival.
