Laugher is the best medicine, unless a gang of clowns attacked the patient. Laugh away your pain with today’s Groupon: for $12, you get an improv-comedy night for two, which includes two tickets and two drinks, at Brown Improv Comedy (a $30 value). Shows take place at 12 Bar on Fulton Street on Fridays from 9 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.
The six-person cast of Brown Improv Comedy coaxes laughter from audiences with live, on-the-fly performances about relevant subjects. After soliciting topical suggestions from theatergoers, bar patrons, and Shakespeare's ghost, the jesterly troupe cajoles chortles with games and skits themed around current events and crowd interaction. One of the group’s popular games, freeze tag, recruits spectators to replace cast members on center stage, creating new scenes while also forcing stage members to dabble with liquid nitrogen. During the set, viewers can swap smirks over two sodas or well drinks and moisten their palates for postperformance shouts of approval. Guests at Brown Improv Comedy must have at least 18 years of postnatal experience to attend a show, and must tout 21 years to indulge in well drinks. Peruse the online calendar for upcoming performances.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Winning Casino Games
Slot Machines: The fundamentals of this classic game remain largely unchanged: pull a lever to activate a scrolling panoply of numbers and fruit. If you happen to stop on a winning combination, the machine will belch treasure into your bucket. How to Win: If your slot machine is Star Wars themed, feed your coins directly into the mouth-slit of C-3PO. If you are not currently playing on a Star Wars-themed machine, the first question to ask yourself is: why not? They are available.
Roulette: This whirling game of chance challenges gamblers to predict the destination of a rollicking white marble after it is belched onto a spinning wheel emblazoned with numbered, colored grooves (18 red, 18 black, one violet).
How to Win: The roulette marble can't land in the wrong square if it doesn't land at all. Make the white marble disappear by unleashing its natural predator—a hungry, hungry hippo.
Baccarat: Appears to be some kind of card game.
How to Win: If you know the rules to baccarat, try playing against literally any opponent. You will most likely win this game of baccarat.
