Laughter is the best medicine, though it tends to be the worst legal defense. Salute the healing art of comedy with today's Groupon: for $9, you get two tickets to a Scared Scriptless comedy show (up to an $18 value) at the Snow Goose Restaurant and Sleeping Lady Brewery on W. Third Avenue.

One of Alaska's longest-running improv comedy troupes, Scared Scriptless activates audiences' laugh muscles with improvised comedy sketches based on audience suggestions, dishing out the same type of comedy nuggets as Chicago's Second City, LA's The Groundlings, and Boris Yeltsin's Comedy Shack in Siberia. Uninhibitedly giggle as Scared Scriptless' cast of wit-wielders create inspired vignettes on the fly and fling out one-liners as they pop into their heads. Shows run on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month and start at 8 p.m. Check the schedule for performance dates.
