Improv comedy shows place a high premium on audience interaction, unlike the opera or traffic court. Rustle up some interactive fun with this deal to ComedySportz Twin Cities. For $12, you get two general-admission tickets to any Friday or Saturday 10:30 p.m. improv comedy show (up to a $24 value). Doors open at 10 p.m.

Each week, the cast of ComedySportz Twin Cities competes in 105-minute battles in which the only weapons are quick wits. Saturdays showcase the classic, game-based ComedySportz format: as the audience shouts suggestions and a referee keeps score between two uniformed teams of actors, performers let loose rapid-fire barrages of absurdity that stay on the family-friendly side. During the summer, Friday shows transform the stage into an island jungle where six performers “outwit, outplay, and out-laugh” each other in the show Improv Survivor. Starting in mid-September, they’ll put a silly spin on a spooky tale in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow: Unscripted and Uncensored. The handicap-accessible theater serves beer and wine as the hilarity unfolds, and bars and restaurants abound in Calhoun Square, where it’s based.
