Fancy a laugh? This improv club hosts improvised theater shows nightly and gets excellent reviews. In July and August, there is a family-friendly 8pm show, with a later show at 10pm. It's an intimate venue, so it pays to book ahead. Look out for the club's collaboration with Reel Pizza Cinerama, too (in which they improve the dialogue of cheesy movies).
