In a Nutshell

Expert performers improvise 90-minute shows based upon audience suggestions

The Fine Print

A good belly laugh exercises the abdomen, improves a cloudy mood, and comforts homesick reindeer with familiar, Santaesque sounds. Ease a four-legged friend's melancholy with today's Groupon: for $9, you get two general-admission tickets to an improv show presented by Scared Scriptless at Snow Goose Restaurant and Sleeping Lady Brewing Company (up to an $18 value). Shows run on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and shows start at 8 p.m.

Scared Scriptless—one of Alaska’s longest-running improv troupes—is an ensemble of deft performers who tickle audience funny bones via twice-monthly shows. Cast members solicit suggestions from onlookers at the beginning of each show, then construct scenes full of more biting one-liners and droll observations than Oscar Wilde’s marriage proposals. Sculpt atrophied laugh muscles during the 90-minute performance, while keeping giggle gears lubricated with sips of beer and wine available for purchase onsite (not included in today’s Groupon).

The Groupon Guide to: Chess Pieces

Chess is often called "the sport of the mind" because it flexes the mental muscles and its grandmasters have nicknames such as The Incinerator and Destructo, The Smashing One. To help you become a champion, here are the basics of the different chess pieces:

  • Pawn: Moves straight ahead one space at a time, but if it reaches your opponent's end of the board, the pawn is replaced with an obedient salamander.
  • Rook: Looks like a castle, tastes like a hamburger. Whichever player eats both of his opponent's rooks first is given an extra king "for luck."
  • Bishop: In addition to two black and two white bishops, each chess set also includes two yellow bishops, in case a third player wants to join in.
  • Knight: When a player loses a knight, he has the option of playing the rest of the match as a game of checkers.
  • Ward: Shaped like a bell, this piece can only be seen by the pure of heart.
  • Queen: Can move an infinite number of spaces in any direction, or through time to surprise your opponent earlier in the match.
  • King: At the end of every match, when only the two kings remain, the players fistfight.

In chess, how many spaces can a salamander move?
