Comedy Island is an improvisation competition based loosely on reality TV show “Survivor.” The improv show begins with six comedians, who will go through five rounds to test their range of writing.

Rounds will consist of “pun-liners,” impressions, roasts, crowd work and stand-up comedy. After each round, the audience votes for a winner in that round. The chosen comedian is granted immunity; the remaining comedians must vote someone off of the show.
This process will be repeated for the following rounds until there are two comedians left. The final two will each perform a five-minute set, from which the crowd chooses a winner.
Saturday’s contestants are Donnie Marsh, Bridgette Martin, Hunter Roberts, Scott Eason, Cortney Warner and Ethan McFall.
Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. for the 6 p.m. show.
Comedy Island is hosted and produced by Atlanta comedians Greg Behrens and Aaron Chasteen. Music and sound effects will be provided by Spencer Ruizzo.
