Rise Comedy Cup- Day 1, Block 5

Saturday, Dec 12, 2026 @ 9:00 PM MST • Multiple prices

Description
The RISE Cup is a charity improv tournament hosted at RISE Comedy. Members of the Denver improv community and beyond sign up to be randomly placed onto a team of 4.
 
Proceeds for 2026 will benefit Youth on Record! Check out all of the wonderful work they do: https://www.youthonrecord.org/

Each block will have four teams of four people performing a 10 minute set of any type of improv comedy, including but not limited to short form, long form and/or genre improv.

Through Judge Scoring, the top 9 teams will move forward along to night 2. The 4 favorite players from teams that didn't move forward become the Wild Cardinals.

On day two, these 10 top teams will battle it out bracket-style based on audience voting!
