Theatresports

Theatresports is organised improvisational theatre, where teams of players perform brief 'games' for points. The games are all designed to provide a framework to allow the players' improvisational talents to shine.

The Trope Namer was developed by director Keith Johnstone in Calgary, Alberta, in 1977; he owns the copyright and trademark on the name.

 * Theatresports, the Trope Namer. It ran during the 80s on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, launching the careers of Andrew Denton, Glenn Robbins and Shaun Micaleff.
 * Fast And Loose, short-lived BBC show from 2011 hosted by Hugh Dennis. The chief novelty was having one of the scenes done against a green screen -- flat on the floor, so that performers have to wriggle across the floor to move around, but make it look like they are walking... Better Than It Sounds.
