A spit-take traditionally occurs when an audience member laughs so hard that a live parakeet flies out of his or her mouth. Today's Groupon may induce aviary exhalations: for $8, you get two tickets to see an improv comedy show at Village Theatre (up to a $20 value). This Groupon is valid for any of Village Theatre's $10-and-under shows, including Improv A**Hole!, Comedy Live, and Danger! The Show.

Check out Village Theatre at 8:30 p.m. any Friday or Saturday, or bring two more friends, for a grand total of four attendees, to any 9:30 p.m. Wednesday show for unscripted hilarity. As you make suggestions for the improv show, the talented actors at Village Theatre will use them to birth delicious and uproariously funny skits. Because you and your date will be incapable of controlling yourselves after your bouts of delirious laughter, cozy up to someone with whom you want to test the waters. Or come with a big group to pick up some jokes funnier than any you could have come up with on your own. Shows last 90 minutes to two hours, with laughs often lasting significantly longer. The Village Theatre is closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day.

• The stage fronts an area filled with comfy couches and folding chairs, and local artwork graces the walls...the very room oozes welcome and laughter, like so many spray-insulated pipes or the paint running down the theatre’s logo. – Julia Reidy, Paste
