Whoever said that humans are distinguished from other animals by their sense of humor must’ve never heard a walrus ask someone to pull its tusk or a woodpecker’s knock-knock-knock-knock-knock joke. Celebrate our animalistic desire to laugh with today's Groupon: for $7 you get a ticket to any Friday show or event at Firehouse Theater in Newport.

Every Friday, the Firehouse Theater hosts a merry evening of witty improvisational comedy, performed by Newport’s The Bit Players. Watch the zany troupe as they drolly play off the suggestions of the audience and make off-the-cuff remarks in a series of short-form skits. Firehouse Theater is BYOB, so show-goers are obliged to bring beer, wine or a cask of aromatherapy bathtub gin. For teetotalers, free hot teas, cocoa, and cookies accompany every performance, helping audience members feel welcome, cozy, and primed for incessant giggling in the 49-seat theater.
