So whether you’re a pickleball aficionado or just here for the laughs, get those DINKS hard and those Pickle Juices flowing at the COMEDY PICKLEBALL SHOWDOWN!
GET YOUR DINKS HARD!
From creators/producers EVAN G. KAY and multi-Emmy Award winner KYLE ROMANEK, along with the legendary BARRY KATZ (Last Comic Standing) and comedy genius BOB SUMNER (Def Comedy Jam), this series combines the fast-paced action of the fast growing pickleball phenomena with the sharp wit and wild antics of top-tier comedians. It’s a game of skill, comedy, improvisation and total chaos—where the only thing more unpredictable than the serves are the threats and one-liners!​
In each episode, two teams of comedians go head-to-head in a high-energy doubles pickleball match. A free-for-all comedy tournament where physical humor, verbal Roasts, and hilarious antics take center stage.
