In a Nutshell

Award-winning comedy troupe concocts improvised situations at lightning-fast speeds, relying on participation from its all-ages audience

The Fine Print

There are many classic comedy routines, but none is more lauded than the one in which someone walks toward a banana peel and places it in the garbage. Enjoy throwaway gags with this GrouponLive deal to see an improv-comedy show at National Comedy Theatre in Mesa. For $12, you get two general-admission tickets (up to a $14 value each) and two popcorns (a $2 value each) to any show through April 28 (up to a $32 total value). Doors open 30 minutes before each performance.

The National Comedy Theatre pits its stable of improvisors against each other in competitive battles of wit every Friday and Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. Although weekend evening shows are the norm, the schedule sometimes features special events such as The Midnight Show on Saturday, January 26, at 12 a.m. and the Tri-Theatre Comedy Show on Sunday, January 27, at 7:30 p.m. Most shows are for all ages, except for midnight shows, which are for adults 18 and older.

National Comedy Theatre

Voted the Best Local Performing Arts Troupe by readers of the East Valley Tribune in 2011, National Comedy Theatre’s ensemble of players concocts improvised situations at lightning-fast speeds, relying on audience participation and their own wits to elicit thunderous laughter and applause. After turning to their all-ages crowd for assistance in shaping games and scenarios, the cast employs knowledge gleaned from operating-room sketches to tickle ribs with anatomical exactitude. The show often favors spontaneity over prudence, with performers gleefully stepping into their roles as acrophobic skydiving champions or long-winded court stenographers. Audience members get to select the winning team at the conclusion of the show, and can learn the form themselves during improv classes.

The Groupon Guide to: Famous Haunted Attractions

Many historical landmarks claim to have undead residents, but none are so infamously haunted as these famous destinations:

Winchester Mystery House
Built: 1884–1922
The Ghastly Details: Construction of the maze-like Winchester mansion was overseen by the widow of the Winchester rifle's inventor so that the restless spirits killed by her husband's creation could have a place to crash after their own haunted houses were ordered by the mayor to be blown up with dynamite.

The Ludlow Lighthouse
Built: 1790
The Ghastly Details: Said to have a will of its own, the Ludlow Lighthouse willfully misguided countless ships onto its rocky banks, killing hundreds of seafarers—thus tethering their spirits to the macabre monument and necessitating that it be blown up with dynamite in 1995.

The Carousel of Souls
Built: 1909
The Ghastly Details: After a mule unexpectedly kicked over a kerosene lamp onto a pan of waffle oil, this carousel is the only surviving structure untouched by the Great World's Fair Fire of 1909. Some say that late at night you can still hear laughter, leading experts to recommend that this obviously possessed attraction be safely dynamited later this month.

  • The actors/comedians were entertaining, interactive and lots of fun to watch. I especially liked the small, black-box theatre
