You never know what you’re going to get at an improv show, but it usually elicits at least one belly laugh. Peak Improv Theater makes for a great night out when you don’t want to get fancy or spend a ton of money and need to lighten up.

The theater’s home troupe, Stick Horses in Pants, who co-own the cozy theater, perform a free or pay-what-you-can show on the first Fridays of the month. I also recommend their Felty & Friends Puppetprov shows on the second Fridays of the month, which feature improvised games, scenes and songs performed by puppets and humans; peakimprov.com. – Jennifer Mulson, The Gazette
