Laughing away life's problems is good for mental health, but can leave problems feeling dejected and insecure. Laugh at someone who wants to hear your chortles with today's Groupon: for $20, you get two admission tickets to Rick Bronson's House of Comedy in the Mall of America in Bloomington (a $13–$19 value per ticket; up to a $38 total value).
Rick Bronson's House of Comedy gathers formidable comedic minds to take the stage for Vegas-style comedy shows on the fourth floor of the Mall of America. From Conan and Letterman to Comedy Central and HBO, the comics featured at Rick Bronson's House of Comedy have graced the screen on some of the most prestigious talk shows and sitcoms known to galactic invaders with satellite dishes. This August, Bronson's hosts comics such as Kelly Taylor, Felicia Michaels, and John Beuhler, all of whom are proud parents of joke babies that have been featured on national television.
Though not included in this Groupon, Rick Bronson's House of Comedy also offers a full dinner menu to fill chuckle-depleted bellies with nourishing fare. Shows at 8 p.m. are for ages 18 and older, or younger than 18 when accompanied by a legal guardian. Shows at 10:30 p.m. are for ages 21 and older, or two baby elves standing on each other's shoulders and disguised in a trench coat.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: American Comedy
Comedy (the smiling mask) has been around for as long as humans have grasped their own mortality. Here’s a look at American history’s most popular comedic tropes:
1940s: Most of the Greatest Generation’s humor revolved around cartoon animals fighting fascism or not understanding the nicknames of baseball players.
Era’s most memorable catchphrase: “Beat it, Detweiler, the lady’s talking at me!”
1950s: To quote the billboards that popped up all over America’s burgeoning freeway systems, “Comedy and communism start the same way. Report all funny business to your local sheriff.” There was no comedy in the '50s.
Era’s most memorable catchphrase: (hushed whisperings)
1960s: Men in business suits holding briefcases walking in a single-file line off of a cliff.
Era’s most memorable catchphrase: “Strawberry alarm clock!”
1970s, '80s, and '90s: Sarcastic Bill Murray.
2000s: Television offices that are just like your office.
Era’s most memorable catchphrase: “Low-quality video of cat existing.”
