Laughter is the best medicine, though it tends to be the worst legal defense. Salute the healing art of comedy with today’s deal: for $9, you get either one ticket to a Friday or Saturday show (up to a $20 value) or three tickets to a show Monday–Thursday (up to a $45 value) in the Original Room at The Comedy Store in Hollywood. Specify which package you prefer when you call The Comedy Store to redeem your voucher. All shows are for ages 21 and older and have a two-drink minimum. This voucher is not valid for special events, such as $25 ticket shows.

The original The Comedy Store in Los Angeles helped launch the careers of professional funny-bone ticklers such as Richard Pryor, Jim Carrey, George Carlin, David Letterman, and Dave Chappelle. The Hollywood location unleashes a beehive of belly laughs, with live standup shows held nearly every night. Upcoming shows include the regularly featured The Original Room: 16 Headlining Comics, during which a showcase of national talent procures guffaws. To meet the club’s two drink minimum, visitors can order spirits and nonalcoholic beverages ($4–$12; not included with this deal,) or fill two cups with tears. Seats are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, so call at least 24 hours in advance to reserve your tickets.
