Tuesday, June 9th, 2015, ComedySportz Quad Cities (CSzQC) is welcoming twenty three other ComedySportz teams to the Quad Cities for a week of laughter, learning, and competition. The teams all have the same goal, to have fun and be crowned the World Champion.  Matches begin on June 10th and continue through June 13th.  Tickets are available by calling 309-786-1111 or online at www.comedysportzqc.com

"250 comedians from coast to coast and even England will be coming to The Establishment," said Patrick Adamson, owner of CSzQC. "We're looking to add a fifth Championship banner to our wall." ComedySportz Quad Cities has won the Championship previously in 1997, 1998, 2002, and 2007.

Staff and volunteers have been hard at work to organize and promote the event.  While in town the comedians can learn and improve their trade by taking one of the fifty-two educational workshops offered during the week. They will be touring the areas attractions, eats, and breweries.

Jimmy Carrane's popular podcast Improv Nerd will be in town on Friday June 12th to record a live podcast featuring ComedySportz founder Dick Chudnow and the current CSz Worldwide Executive Director Matt Elwell.

The Championship will also be the kickoff point for CSz Indianapolis player Claire Wilcher to begin her CSz World Tour.  Over the summer months Claire will be driving a 27-foot RV and performing in all twenty three domestic CSz cities.  She is currently working on a way to drive the RV to Manchester, England and Berlin, Germany.

"This is such a unique opportunity for comedy fans in the QC. For example on Wednesday night you can see comedians from San Jose compete against Los Angeles, or Seattle vs. Milwaukee all in the same match!"  Jeff Adamson, ComedySportz Quad Cities founding member added "We are in our 25th year in the area, and what a great way to make it special."

ComedySportz Quad Cities and all the other cities in attendance belong to CSz Worldwide, a trade association dedicated to changing the world though collaboration, inspiration, gratitude, and fun.

The Establishment is a comedy venue located at 220 19th street Rock Island, IL.  The Establishment is the home of CSz Quad Cities and produces ComedySportz, the longest running show in the QC.
