Improv Asylum

Template:Comedy Club
Improv is at its craziest—and best—at this underground comedy haven. Tucked into the beginning of Hanover Street in the North End,mainstage shows combine improv and sketches into a slap-happy laugh orgy (W-Th 8pm, $15; F-Sa 8 and 10pm, $20). After the mainstage, late shows ($5-10) offer routines and sketches from guest artists as well as the cast. The all-improv Midnight Show (Sa, $10) is even zanier. Students can enjoy all NXT shows, featuring the “developmental” cast, for free ($5 for non-students). The onsite bar does a brisk business. Improv Asylum also offers classes ($250 for 8 3hr classes), corporate training, and private performances. Call a couple days ahead to ensure admission, a few weeks ahead for large parties.
