| Caped Cretin Causes Chaos, Kills Cuckley August 25, 2024 |
| Last Cage Match was a bittersweet mix of joy and sorrow as, beneath the blistering arc lights and rapt attention of a sold out audience, long-time host Chuck Cuckley was tragically struck down by a hitherto unseen assailant. The brazen attack was committed by a caped villain who gave his name as Duke Rascal and whose flashy showmanship was matched only by his hatred of improv. After striking down Cuckley with a Scripted Three-Act Drama Death Touch, Rascal left the stage without further incident. Fun Boy Randy, the other host, witnessed the event but did nothing to stop it. He later commented, "I had just eaten almost an entire sandwich, so I was in no shape to save anyone's life." Cuckley is survived by his wife, Taramarianalunicinda, and her boyfriend, Chad. Aside from the public murder, the rest of the show was a veritable whirlwind of excitement as up-and-comers Siblings put on an incredible show and almost beat champs Clint. Unfortunately, "almost" is the key word here, as Clint also pulled off an incredible feat of improvery and managed to defend their title--by the narrow margin of only four votes! Truly anything can happen in the Cage March Arena, concrete jungle what dreams are made of! Donations to the Cuckley family can made at 242 E 14th St this Thursday at 10pm. |

| Clint Clinches Win as Tiptoe is Toppled August 16, 2024 |
| Both teams extracted hearty guffaws from the excited crowd but in the end there can only be one winner--and, in twist of fate that could have been conceived by the Greek gods of legend, Tiptoe's Cage Match run was cut short by the comedic machinations of indie darlings Clint! Further excitement was added to the evening the mysterious appearance of Gene, an improv coach from the future. Gene was attempted to train a mysterious audience member named Maya to save the future from a complicated series of events--but ultimately Maya vanished! Come back next week to see Clint go up against the mighty comedy of Siblings--and to see if Maya will return! |

| Lake Drained as Tiptoe Triumphs August 2, 2024 |
| After a staggering seven win run, the tide went out for the Lake At Dawn. Lake, known for its blustering bravado and devil-may-care style of play, was done in by UCB house team Tiptoe. Though Lake put up a mighty effort, they were ultimately trounced by the comedic haymakers lobbed during Tiptoe's Spokane. Lake will return for playoffs at the end of the season, while Tiptoe will return next week. Is another Spokane in our future? The only way to find out is BE THERE! See you in the Arena! |

| Pie Town says, "Bye, Town," as The Lake at Dawn Dawns New Era June 7, 2024 |
| Beloved indie darlings Pie Town, who three weeks ago ended Slop's marathon 9-win run, had their own run ended by scrappy up-and-comers The Lake at Dawn. Both teams introduced themselves with synchronized statements, which were described as, "like a drunken night at a cabin," by one onlooker and, "like drowning," by another. This madcap energy carried over to both sets, prompting many a delighted giggle and guffaw from the amazed crown. But in the end, The Lake at Dawn prevailed and will return next. Is the beginning of a new multi-show run? Or will Zebra nip this budding dynasty before it blooms? There's only one way to find out! Tickets are on sale now! |

| New Champs Pie Town End Slop Streak May 24, 2024 |

What further comedic stylings does PIE TOWN hold for us? Come back next week--same time, same place--to find out! And fret not, SLOP-heads: with 9 wins, SLOP is guaranteed a spot in the championship! Remember fans, this is CAGE MATCH--anything can happen! |

| Slop Snags Success as Regular Run Resumes May 11, 2024 |
| After last week's sold out exhibition match, Cage Match resumed its regular season with yet another sold out show! Returning champs SLOP faced off against scrappy challengers BIRDIE & DUSTY, while another match brewed in the audience between Knicks fans and Celtics fans. Ultimately SLOP defended their title and the audience put aside their basketball-related antagonism to enjoy the show. Also at half-time, a dude in a trench coat told a dude in a bathroom that he slept with everyone's parents. Truly anything can happen at Cage Match! |
