“Book a babysitter and pair this quick one-hour show with a nearby dinner.”
Show & Tell and Lakehouse is a live, one-hour improvisational comedy performance featuring two popular local troupes at the Mettlesome Theater in Durham. The first group uses real-life stories to inspire their comedic scenes, while the second group performs a continuous, single-scene improv set. Because improv is unscripted and unpredictable, this performance is best suited for adults and teenagers rather than younger children. The theater is located at University Place in Durham, which offers plenty of free, convenient parking right outside the venue. Tickets should be purchased in advance online, and you can grab a drink at the theater's bar before finding your seats. This show makes an easy, low-stress addition to your weekend plans. Since it wraps up in just an hour, you can easily pair it with dinner beforehand at one of the nearby South Durham restaurants.
