We Missed You!
Welcome Back to the LIVE FUNNY!
Seems like forever since we've seen your faces.
We can't wait to see you again this weekend.
Live. And. In. Person.
Yup. We're throwing our theater doors WIDE OPEN - starting this Friday night. (Don't worry, we'll close 'em before the show starts. Even tho' we're expecting some *delightful *Arizona winter weather. 🌞 Speedway is still a pretty noisy street.)
Start your weekend the best possible way. Having the most fun you can have in public!
Grab a bite after work on Friday and head on over for our FREE Student Showcase at 6pm, followed by Not Burnt Out Just Unscrewed and their family-friendly stylings at 7:30 pm. Tickets are still only $5 for kids & $8 for adults.
Saturday night has THREE shows, and you can see ALL of them for only $10 TOTAL! The 6pm Improv Basics Student Showcase is FREE, and if you stay for both the 7:30 family-friendly and 9:00 pm UNCENSORED show, our Laughing Pass is only 10 measly bucks.
Still rather stay home and watch? We get that. Our Live Stream BOGO is still your best comedy bargain in town. Watch ALL the shows this weekend for less than the price of dinner. Grab those online tickets, run to the fridge for yumminess, and laugh the weekend away!
We know prices are rising at the pump and grocery stores. Unscrewed Improv comedy supply chain shortages just aren't a thing. You can count on our prices to stay a comedy bargain. No matter what.
Look what's in store this weekend:
Be sure to check out our COVID-19 Policy before you head out to the shows!

Would you do us this favor?
TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW THAT WE'VE WELCOMED BACK OUR LIVE AUDIENCE! (And if you know folks who prefer to stay home - tell 'em they can LIVE STREAM every show!)
REALLY.
TELL EVERYONE!
When you think of fun, we want to be the first thing that pops into your head. Cuz when we think of fun, YOU ARE the first thing we think of.
Improv without an audience is like. . . . . . well, it's like a an ice cream sundae without the toppings, TV with no sound, or tennis shoes with no laces. It's OK, but SO MUCH BETTER WHEN ALL THE PIECES ARE THERE!
Every show is different because every audience is different, and we rely on your suggestions to make the funny happen.
So shout it from the mountaintops!
Or rooftops!
Or just text your peeps.
Cuz laughter is the best thing ever.
If you can see your way clear to donate too, well, that's just icing on the cake.
Just smoosh this 👇👇 button, and we'll say THANKS!
