The Herbst Theater is our venue, named after JSAC founding member Herb Herbst. But on Saturday nights, it's transformed to a sporting arena where two teams battle it out for improv comedy dominance. Win the chance to have our space named for YOU every Saturday night for the year! We'll welcome our loyal fans not just to the match, but to watch ComedySportz Jersey Shore play in the Henrietta Atwood Arena. Note: this auction item is open to all people, not just those named Henrietta Atwood. We'll sub in the winner's name for Henrietta's. That's how this works.

Do you just not like Scott's name? Does he look more like an Alex to you? Or heck, do you want to rename him something else entirely, like Potato? Winning this auction item gives you the power to rename one of our players for six months. Any time they are part of the match, be it playing, reffing, or on tech, they will be addressed by this new name that you bestow (minding our Out of Bounds foul, of course). You pick the player, you pick the new name.

Retired CSz player Adam built our wonderful red and blue benches that the teams sit on each week. But we can do even better. Let's give the benches names...you get to choose which bench and what name. If you want to be punny you could even name one after the Cincinnati Reds catcher...yeah, that's right, we could wind up with the Johnny Bench bench. These naming rights are good for all of 2026.
