$17 for Two Tickets to Any Friday or Saturday Early Show, Plus $10 Toward an Appetizer, at MinneHAHA Comedy Club ($35 Value)

One of 16th-century Italy’s most popular forms of entertainment was stand-up commedia dell’arte, where masked performers would pantomime observational bits on Machiavellian politics and the deal with airplane food. Enjoy modern merriment with today’s Groupon: for $17, you get two tickets to a Friday or Saturday early show (a $25 value), plus $10 toward an appetizer (most are less than $10), at the MinneHAHA Comedy Club , located just south of the river in Burnsville. Friday early shows are at 8:30 p.m., while Saturday early shows are at 8 p.m. MinneHAHA gives Minneapolis up-close access to the best local and nationally touring comedians, many of who have appeared on The King of Queens , Showtime, Comedy Central’s Premium Blend , Late Night with Conan O’Brien , and Last Comic Standing .

Upcoming shows will feature the fearless humor of Dave Mordal, the host of Discovery Channel’s Wreckreation Nation , and Dwayne Gill, a cop who moonlights as a stand-up comedian. Regardless of the show, guests will be sure to enjoy a night of jocular good times not involving Internet videos of dogs wearing sunglasses on surfboards. Supplement the belly-jostling laughter with a belly-pleasing appetizer from Carbone’s Pizza & Sports Bar .
