Nothing like a little improv to make you laugh

If you’re looking for some laughs between now and Sunday you have a couple of options. You could take your hairdryer outside and point it at passing cars and see if they slow down … or you could check out the Dirty South Improv Festival in Carrboro.

Last night was opening night at the DSI Comedy Theater (which is tough to find, BTW, so make sure you leave early if you’ve never been before). In two hours, I was treated to four acts of varying degrees of talent. It was definitely worth the $10 ticket. Also, there’s beer ($3.50 a can), which helps make everything a little funnier.

I most enjoyed “We Live Together” a group of four hat-wearing guys who have good chemistry on stage. They all seemed to have a pretty perverted sense of humor, and I have to admit I’m a sucker for a good deviating joke every now and then.

Let me know if you go. You can order tickets on-line or reserve them by calling 919-338-8150.

Also, I love me some improv, so let me know if there are any local performers I should watch for.
