Malarkey Comedy / ComedySportz Chicago
About Battleprov
The show
Battleprov pits the house team against a guest team from another theater across five rounds. The show moves fast and big, with a short-form pace. It builds from rivalry in the early rounds to teamwork at the end, and the audience votes on the winner of the night in the app during the final round.
Shows run Thursday nights, November through April, skipping the first Thursday of each month. Each guest team plays one date per season.
1
Head to Head
Battleprov and the guest team go head to head in a game.
2
Choice Round
Each team gets 10 minutes to do whatever they want. Their format, their material, their rules.
3
Challenge Round
The team captains challenge each other to something.
4
DOOM Round
Each team does something random.
5
Peace Round
The teams come together and play one game together. While the game is happening, the audience votes in the app for the winner of the night.
You call it
The audience votes on the winner of the night during the final round. Scan the QR code or head to the vote page, enter the War Cry shown on the screen in the theater, then pick the team you preferred. Voting opens 30 minutes into the show and closes at the 90-minute mark. You get one vote per night, but you can change your pick until voting closes. Votes become points, and every result lives in the season history.
