Improv comedians are a human breed originally formed from the tears of a vaudevillian and the psychoactive film on a tree frog's back. Breed your own comedy with today's deal: for $7, you get one ticket to an evening improv show at ComedySportz, located on Massachusetts Avenue in Indy's arts and theater district (up to a $15 value). Chop-busting begins promptly at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, with an additional show at 10 p.m. on Saturday nights.

Strap yourself into an unrestrictive seat at ComedySportz for a some-holds-barred, refereed stage match for comedic supremacy. Fueled by the suggestions and overall uproar of the audience, performers provide family-friendly humor as they jump through song and scene onstage. Each match flies faster than a speeding mind bullet through content significantly safer for children than speeding mind bullets. Much like snowflakes, no two matches are the same, and all of them are best enjoyed with an outstretched tongue.

Watching a group of people thinking on their toes (a typical improv troupe has 7 to 94 toes) is more fun than losing to children at Scrabble. Likewise, an evening of imagineered comedy makes an elegant complement to finely fermented ales from the ComedySportz food and drink menu. Whether you're chuckling down a burger or chortling on a Snickers, food can soothe your laughter-shocked belly and prime it for bigger, heartier laughs.

Reviews

Five Yelpers give ComedySportz four stars, and the Indy Theatre Habit blog raves about the show:

• We help call fouls, too, and we help award points. The whole process is very energizing, and we all leave feeling like winners, whether the red team won the big trophy this time or the blue team did, and whether we ourselves are shy rookies or confident veteran improv audience members. – Hope Baugh, Indy Theatre Habit
• Watching people honestly enjoying themselves is hard not to enjoy. Comedy in movies will always pale in comparison to live comedy...the audience really is an active part of the show. – Mark J., Yelp
• I have been to Comedysportz many times and have been blown away at the talent that hits the stage - and it is different every time! – J R., Yelp
