Improv comedy is its own special brand of entertainment. Not only do you not know what is coming, the person performing most often doesn't either, so that just adds to the fun. There are several places to catch this type of comedy around Dallas, and as is the nature of the beat, sometimes the performances themselves are improv at the last minute, so it is hard to tell when the next one will be. Keep your eyes open, you never know when comedy will break out. Here are a few places to catch some good improv acts in the near future.
