Celebrity Theatresports 2014

Overview

Olympic gold medallist Matthew Mitcham isn't known for his comedic capabilities. That's not to say he doesn't have them, just that most people just tend to know him better for his skills in diving off a plank into water. But Mitcham will soon be joining a whole list of other well-known Australians and taking to the stage in the annual improv comedy event, Celebrity Theatresports.

The public figures will be stepping out of their respective varied domains and putting on their comedy hats, ready to entertain in what promises to be a rollicking show. Most people can't think of much worse than having to improvise in front of an audience, but this multitalented bunch isn't just doing it on a whim — the event is in aid of Australian kids' cancer organisation CanTeen, so they all earn props for bravery and for general do-gooderness.

Honorary Australian Queen of Eurovision and RocKwiz host Julia Zemiro is presiding over the evening of on-the-spot comedy games. All in all, it's kind of a done deal that you'll leave with muscles sore from chortling, as well as having helped out some needy kids.
