OKC Improv Cage Match: 

inspired by Cage Match @ iO & Upright Citizens' Brigade Theatre

The Cage Match is not an Improv Format, but rather a show concept, involving a competition between long-form improv troupes. It was developed by Kevin Mullaney, and the idea is the following:

- 2 teams compete for the audience's vote

- each team gets 15 minutes to perform. A timer is provided on-stage

- in order to be allowed to vote, the audience member must see both teams perform

- the performers are not allowed to vote; anyone else present is

- the host is responsible for counting the votes. Team with the most votes wins and returns next time (against another team). Host decides who is the winner in case of a tie.

- decisions of the host are final. The host can make up rules and dish out punishments at his sole discretion.

- stacking the audience is not only allowed, but encouraged

- apart from the above, anything goes, as long as it's long form improv.

- The "official" rules can be found on www.cage-match.com/rules.php.

Many thanks,
