Golden Age: Improv Comedy

What is Golden Age: Improv Comedy? This is a fast-paced, one-hour improvisational theater performance where actors build a web of connected characters and scenes based on a single audience suggestion. Located at the Mettlesome Theater in Durham, the show offers a spontaneous, high-energy performance that changes completely every time the cast takes the stage. Because of the late 9:00 PM start time and the unpredictable nature of unscripted comedy, this event is best reserved for adults and teenagers rather than younger children. Street parking is available around the venue, and you will want to arrive about fifteen minutes early to grab your seats and a drink before the lights go down. If you are looking to break out of your usual weekend routine, this show makes an easy, low-stress date night or outing with friends. It is located right in the heart of Durham, so you can easily grab dinner nearby beforehand.
