Although it’s been ostracized by the five traditional senses, the sense of humor is the only thing that enables human beings to detect a rubber chicken creeping up from behind. Stay on guard with today’s GrouponLive deal for tickets to any 10:30 p.m. Saturday show at MinneHAHA Comedy Club, in the lower level of Dangerfield's Restaurant in Shakopee. Choose from the following options:
- For $10, you get two general-admission tickets (a $20 value).
- For $18, you get four general-admission tickets (a $40 value).

MinneHAHA gives Minneapolis up-close access to the best local and nationally touring comedians, many of who have appeared on The King of Queens, Showtime, Comedy Central's Premium Blend, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and Last Comic Standing. The laughs are plentiful, and the comedic tone is classy and—unlike shows performed at nursing homes—refreshingly free of lazy vulgarity. Upcoming shows will feature the clever observations of Tony Deyo on October 22 and the family-focused anecdotes of Keith Ruff on October 29. Though not included in today’s Groupon, visitors can supplement the belly-jostling laughter with beverages from Dangerfield's. Peruse MinneHAHA's website for an online calendar and dissertation on the history of the whoopee cushion before calling to reserve a seat.

The Groupon Guide to: Auditioning
Every person should become a famous actor at least once in life, if only to experience the pleasure of donating a kidney to their own body double. Here's a guide to landing the role:
Choose Your Monologue: Monologues are short, boring speeches meant to educate the casting director. Though monologues from plays are predictable and often sound scripted, a monologue excerpted from a brother-in-law's misdemeanor trial is perfect.
Be Memorized: Unlike during a televised confession, there are no cue cards at an audition, so you must memorize your monologue. The easiest way to remember something is to use a pneumonic device, a microchip that a doctor implants in your chest cavity to send messages to your brain.
Play the Emotion: Actors rely on emotion, so make sure you have enough of them. Common emotions include: joy, fear, father anger, lust, superlust, sleep, and the cold eyes of death watching us—always watching us—from just out of reach.
Exude Confidence: When it comes down to it, acting is all about confidence. Win the audition by making constant, uninterrupted eye contact with a stagehand.
