If you haven’t had the fortune of seeing improv comedy in major metro cities such as Chicago or Los Angeles, you just lucked out. United Way is bringing in iO Theaters of Chicago, the improv comedy troupe that’s belted out gifted actors and writers such as chris Farley, Mike Myers and Tina Fey and others who’ve gone on to Saturday Night Live, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, and other comedic gems. These young comedians deliver an hour and a half of belly-aching laughs — and you never know how they’ll get you to participate on stage. Show is tonight at 7 p.m., and it’s not too late to get a $15 ticket at unitedwayevents.com.
What else is going on this weekend? Spend your Saturday at the Shaw Center as the LSU Museum of Art celebrates its 50th anniversary and Storyville hosts its popular T-shirt fashion show at Manship Theatre. Tickets to the birthday spectacular from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. are $50 for MOA members, $75 for non-members. $100 gets you access to the private patron party an hour earlier. Tickets for fashion show, which sold out last year, are for $16.50 via manshiptheatre.org. Read about it all at 225 Select.
