2026 RISE Comedy Cup – Day 1, Block 2

The RISE Comedy Cup is a charity improv tournament hosted at RISE Comedy. Members of the Denver improv community and beyond sign up and are randomly placed onto teams of four. Proceeds from the 2026 Cup benefit Youth on Record. Each block features four teams performing 10-minute sets of any style of improv comedy, including short form, long form and genre improv. Through judge scoring, the top nine teams move on to Day 2, joined by the Wild Cardinals: the four favorite players from teams that didn’t advance. On Day 2, the top 10 teams battle it out bracket-style based on audience voting. Block 2 Lineup Real HouseFlies of Denver!
