Zeus became known as the Greek god of improvisation after he came up with Athena off the top of his head. Make up mythological mirth with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of tickets to Improv Comedy Club in Arlington. Shows include a two-item minimum purchase (not included with this Groupon). Tickets to shows featuring Huggy Lowdown, Lavell Crawford, Faizon Love, Earthquake, Ralphie May and Aries Spears are not included with this Groupon.

Evolving from its New York City origin as Budd Friedman’s rollicking outpost for Broadway performers in 1963, Improv Comedy Clubs have expanded across the country so that traveling standup surgeons can test funny-bone reflexes from coast to coast. Each week unleashes the larks of notable comedians such as Jay Pharoah, who survives in front of the club's signature red-brick backdrop while subsisting on little more than audience laughter and clown tears. Rifle through the comedy lineup for your comedian and date of choice, though the comedian may not reciprocally choose to go as one's date.
