DSI Comedy Theater is kicking off CageMatch MAYHEM, running Saturday nights at 9:30 p.m. throughout the entire month. Each week, two longform improv teams will battle it out and the audience decides the winner. Tickets for the show cost $10. DSI Comedy Theater is located at 200 N. Greensboro St, in the Carr Mill Mall between Elmo's and Southern Rail. More information on shows, comedy classes and DSI Comedy Theater is available online: www.DSIcomedy.com.

For CageMatch MAYHEM, a new challenger will take on the previous week's champion. Each team gets 22-minutes and the audience decides the winner. The following week, the champion comes back to compete again. This month-long CageMatch features some of DSI Comedy Theater's top longform teams including Heartbreaker, ARMAGEDDON'IT, The 708, THE HEIST, and AU JUS.

"Our crowds LOVE comedy competition so we're giving it to them again with [CageMatch] MAYHEM," explains Executive Producer Zach Ward. "Competition keeps comics on their toes and CageMatch forces ALL our performers to step it up. I'm on deck myself for THE HEIST Saturday May 15th."
