Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.

Disc Tues / Choose Your Movie: THE CHRISTOPHERS vs NORMAL at the Gateway!

Disc Tues / Choose Your Movie: THE CHRISTOPHERS vs NORMAL at the Gateway!

Tue, Apr 21, 10:45 PM
From The Columbus Movie Group
4.7

Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of two great new films! Option 1 (and the one I'll be seeing) is the top-reviewed comedy-drama, THE CHRISTOPHERS! The film is set in the art world and follows the estranged children of a former artist who hire a forger. It is directed by Steven Soderberg, stars Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel and has been earning rave reviews on the indie circuit. Option 2 is the latest action-thriller starring Bob Odenkirk, NORMAL! The film follows a temporary small-town sheriff who uncovers dark mysteries after a local bank robbery. Here are descriptions, trailers and our plan for this event: THE CHRISTOPHERS: The children of a once famous artist hire a forger to complete some unfinished, long ago abandoned canvases so they'll have a better inheritance when he dies. It is directed by Steven Soderbergh and stars Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, Jessica Gunning and James Corden. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film is earning an excellent 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it a “dynamic, emotional and surprising journey” and a “compelling chamber piece that works like intellectual comfort food.” Others call the film, an “incredibly funny, comedy drama with plot reversals that make it feel like it’s on the verge of a thriller!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H79-EqzmdwY&t=20s NORMAL: This action-crime-thriller follows a man who comes to the sleepy town of Normal, Minnesota to serve as the temporary sheriff. But a bank robbery leads him to a criminal underground reaches throughout the entire town. The film is directed by Ben Wheatley and stars Bob Odenkirk, Henry Winkler and Lena Headey. The film comes from the same team that brought us Nobody and the John Wick series, so expect an over-the-top, action-filled thrill ride! TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmm-lM33Qw0&t=19s PLAN: Details for this event have been confirmed! For THE CHRISTOPHERS, please purchase your ticket for the 7:00pm showing and meet in the upstairs lobby between 6:40 and 6:50pm! For NORMAL, please purchase your ticket for the 7:30pm showing and meet in the upstairs lobby between 7:10 and 7:20pm! For both films, tickets just $5 ($6.50 after online fees when purchased on the GFC website). Advance purchase is advised. Once you have yours, please list your movie of choice and seat number in the Comments section of this event. PARKING: Close, convenient parking is available in the nearby garage (located between 9th and 11th, just off High St). Bring your ticket with you and have it validated at the theater and for $2, you’re covered for the night! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Frequently asked questions

Meetup connects people with similar interests through in-person or online events. It's a platform to discover groups based on hobbies or lifestyles, join gatherings, and expand your social network.

Use Meetup’s search feature to explore comedy events in your area. Filter results by location and interest to discover opportunities to attend local shows and connect with fellow humor enthusiasts.

On Meetup, you can check for upcoming comedy shows scheduled this week. Use the filters to see events happening soon and RSVP to stay updated and plan your attendance.

Absolutely! Meetup allows you to join as many groups as you like. If you're into comedy, consider subscribing to various groups to enjoy a broader range of events and shows.

Some events might have a fee, while others are free. Check event details on Meetup for specific information about any costs associated with attending a comedy show or section.

Simply browse the event’s page on Meetup and click on the RSVP button. This lets the host know to expect you and often ensures you receive updates or any last-minute changes.

Meetup hosts numerous events across various locations, but availability depends on what organizers are offering in your area. It's easy to search and see what’s happening near you.

Comedy events can be either in-person or online, depending on the organizer. Be sure to check the event description on Meetup for the format details.

If you can't find local comedy shows at the moment, consider expanding your search to nearby areas or suggest starting a group in your community to rally other comedy fans.

You can reach out to group organizers through Meetup to suggest new event ideas. They often welcome suggestions that bring more excitement to their community.

Organizers use Meetup to plan and promote events, set dates, and communicate with attendees. They manage their groups based on shared interests and event-types they wish to pursue.

Meetup focuses on group activities and community building rather than 1-on-1 matchmaking. It's meant for discovering interests and forming broader social connections instead.

Most events are planned by volunteers or hobbyists. While many are well-run, the organization and quality may depend on the experience and resources of the host.

While Meetup provides many chances to meet people, it cannot ensure instant friendships. Success in socializing often hinges on personal engagement and pursuing suitable events.

Not necessarily. New groups depend on community interest and active organizers. If a specific niche isn't available, you could initiate creating and hosting a new group on Meetup.
