Nightly improv shows on main stage and smaller black box theater featuring seasoned performers, rental troupes and... cage matches?. This branch of the historic Improv Olympic, which was founded in Chicago, serves up some of the finest, side-splitting improvisation west of the Windy City. Offering a slew of hilarious improv acts from comedy "Cage Matches" to "Opening Night", a completely improvised musical, this is one comedy club that makes you laugh till it hurts, and it hurts so good. Its intimate black box setting has also served as a training and recruiting ground for some of comedy's best including members of The Daily Show, Late Night with Conan O'Brien and Saturday Night Live.

Ha Ha Ha Hilarious. highly recommend the opening night musical, hilarious show, they make up the songs and story on the spot, you can buy beer at the bar in the lobby, but the cast is funny with or without being drunk. tickets are $10, but you can get them for $3.50 by signing up for goldstarevents.

The Lampshades. This show is a must see. It's a bizarre lounge act where the music is combinations of classic songs (ie. Mandy and Brandy) with "sponsors" and guest stars like Mountabank the Mentalist, who will astound you with his amazing Mental acuity. Very very funny.
