Shows start at 8pm on Wednesdays and 7.30pm on Sundays. They last approximately 2 hours (including interval), in which time they play 6 or 7 games. There is no one host of the show, and no points to be won, so every performer should get to have a go and are able to support each other.They are also in the Guinness World Records for being the world’s longest-running comedy show with the same cast.Usually, the games are: Die - in which each performer takes turn to tell a story, with the audience shouting "Die" when one makes a mistake Freeze Tag - two performers start in positions suggested by the audience, and act out sketches. The other performers will 'tag' someone to take their position and start a new sketch Guess The Job - A Player leaves the room while an outrageous job is concocted. When he re-enters, he has to guess the job based on clues dropped into the sketch Translation - Specialist lecture from a foreign expert who doesn't speak English, so another Player translates for him Film & Theatre Styles - A sketch between 2 people, performed in different film and theatre styles Musical - A story told with song, with the Players often playing several characters Emotions - Another sketch between 2 people, this time changing based on different emotions suggested by the audience The Three Headed Expert - An interview between one person and an expert (played by three people)Several of The Comedy Store Players appeared on the Channel 4 comedy game show Whose Line Is It Anyway?, though of the seven regulars named above, only Andy Smart hasn't appeared on the show.".
