Gretchen Young Gretchen Young is a Dallas-based comedian whose stand-up lives somewhere between high-caliber aspirations and absolutely no moral compass. Joking about the parts of adulthood no one warned her about, she is navigating her 30s, making questionable decisions but doing the best she can.

Offstage she is also the founder of GretchYo Presents, producing comedy shows and interactive events across the country. You can watch her web series GretchYo on YouTube, and follow her everywhere at @GretchYo and @GretchYoPresents.
 Shahyan Jahani Shahyan Jahani is a Dallas-based stand-up comedian and producer. Known for sharp, playful storytelling and a fresh perspective on everyday chaos, he’s performed with Mark Normand, Rory Scovel, Ari Shaffir, Ralph Barbosa, and Maddy Smith. Whether on stage or producing packed-out pop-up shows, Shahyan brings a mix of wit, energy, and unpredictability that keeps audiences locked in and laughing. Oh, and it’s pronounced “SHY-on.” You’re welcome.
Lilli Lopez Lilli Lopez is a stand-up comedian, producer and writer. She appeared as the taco game show host on United Tacos of America (El Rey Network) and has performed in comedy festivals including the L.A. Diversity in Comedy Festival by Second City, Out Of Bounds Comedy Festival and SXSWedu.

You’re not just watching a comedy show—you’re part of it. ComedySportz is the country’s longest-running interactive improv comedy experience, where the audience doesn’t just sit back… they help decide what happens next.

Your ideas fuel the scenes. Your laughs decide the game. No scripts. No sidelines. Just fast, funny, made-up-on-the-spot comedy built entirely around you. And don’t worry—you don’t need to know anything about sports to have a great time.
