Standup comedians typically draw from real life, such as bad relationships or how the zoo is crazy. Life's a riot with this GrouponLive deal to see a comedy show at Uptown Comedy Corner. Choose from four options:

• For $20, you get two general-admission tickets (up to a $50 value).
• For $25, you get two VIP tickets for front-section seating (up to a $70 value).
• For $30, you get four general-admission tickets (up to a $100 value).
For $40, you get four VIP tickets for front-section seating (up to a $140 value).

Uptown's small stage has hosted big acts such as Steve Harvey, Chris Rock, and Dave Chappelle, as well as weekly up-and-coming comedic talent. Taking the mic from Thursday, November 8, to Sunday, November 11, is Joe Clair, a rising star in blunt-worded comedy seen in Martin Lawrence’s 1st Amendment Stand-Up and Def Comedy Jam. The club’s ticketing page tracks other upcoming acts as they are scheduled. Although this Groupon is not good toward food or drink, Uptown keeps tongues joyously entertained with a menu of sandwiches and dinner plates in addition to libations from its full-service bar.
