In a Nutshell

Comedy festival cracks up audiences with interactive panels, riotous improv, and polished standup sets that benefit mental-health charities

The Fine Print

Both laughter and tears can be cathartic, but only laughter is OK in front of your dog. Laugh until you cry with this GrouponLive deal to the Cracking Up the Capital for Mental Health festival. Choose from the following events:

Cracking Up the Capital for Mental Health’s citywide comedy festival tickles funny bones in the name of philanthropy during its four days of events, which all benefit mental-health community organizations. The fest kicks off on Wednesday with Women of Comedy, featuring a trio of comediennes in an interactive evening of conversation. Little Mosque on the Prairie costars Deb McGrath and Sheila McCarthy join Canada’s 2012 Comedy Person of the Year Nikki Payne in a frank, hilarious discussion of their professional and personal lives. During Thursday’s Improv Games, Whose Line is It Anyway? star Colin Mochrie heads to Algonquin College to referee a competition in the style of his show, pitting Carleton University against the University of Ottawa.

Friday’s Aboriginal Comedy Evening features standup sets by some of the country’s funniest aboriginal comics, including Don Kelly, Dawn Dumont, and Ryan McMahon. Crackup Up the Capital ends on Saturday night with thunderous guffaws generated by an all-star lineup of standup comedians, including Big Daddy Tazz, Don Kelly, Tracey MacDonald, and John Wing take the stage.

The Groupon Guide to: Ointments

We can all agree that the hardest pill to swallow is any pill at all. Ointment provides all of the medical benefits of a pill, but you spread it directly on your skin where it gets absorbed into your heart. Here are just a few of the things ointment can cure:

  • Raging itch
  • Nervous twitch
  • Hit by a switch
  • Married to a witch
  • Computer glitch
  • Transparent skin
  • Not ready for prime time
  • Too cool to care
  • Coleslaw belly
  • Grotesque
  • Not enough mustache luster
  • All out of time

What can I do to get more mustache luster? Find out in today's Groupon Guide.
