From time to time they get to do the kind of amateur night "smack down" improve group competition at the improve theater downtown. So we go down there from time to time and see some of the other shows. Live improve comedy is really fun! Man we have a good time. There are usually opportunities for the crowd to get involved, and my 12 year old daughter typically ends up on stage doing something. It's a blast! It's worth checking around your city to see if there is some amateur improv going on. It's pretty inexpensive for the amateur shows- cheaper than a movie, so a great way to spend a night without blowing a lot of cash.
reading this made me think of the episode of Family Guy where they start an improv group and Quagmire gets all frustrated because they were a bunch of amateurs..
and the episode of Metalocalypse where the guys in the band try doing standup comedy..
