ITS Smackdown Heats

The legendary no-holds-barred, killer-take-all competition to end all improv competitions is BACK! It’s fast, fierce, and hilariously unpredictable.

Teams only have 12 minutes to prove to they’re worthy of victory, but there’s unlimited chances to kill Kill KILL on stage (the audience are entirely safe).

For the winners? A spot in the ITS Smackdown Grand Final at the Eternity Playhouse. For everyone else? An all-important moral victory.

Who will join past champions like Snake Pit, Quadbike, PattyKates, ASMR, The Jensens, Business of Scheme and Same Girl? Well, that’s for the audience to decide…
