Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!

Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!

Thu, Sep 3, 11:00 PM
From Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup!
4.9

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you were quoted in *Truth in Comedy*, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**! The idea behind improvised comedy is to create entire scenes from scratch. A suggestion is taken from the audience and laughter is built on the spot. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway, Make Some Noise,* or *Wild 'n Out*; it can also be done in a longer way, to tell a complicated story, like *TJ & Dave*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and FREE!) weekly comedy event, brings the games for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Afterward, many members will hang out in *Gresso's* itself and get to know each other. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, your public speaking, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and build relationships that will last a lifetime, and you do that while laughing your butt off! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "*Yes, And*" that you'll have a blast!

Communication is everything in life You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? 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.

Loony Thursday: COYOTE VS ACME  at Lennox Phoenix Theater!

Loony Thursday: COYOTE VS ACME at Lennox Phoenix Theater!

Thu, Sep 3, 9:30 PM
From The Columbus Movie Group
4.7

Join us as we get together to see the live-action animated legal comedy, COYOTE VS ACME! The film follows Wile E. Coyote as he enlists a billboard attorney to sue the Acme Corporation for repeatedly selling him faulty products. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: After every product made by the Acme Corporation has backfired on Wile E. Coyote in his pursuit of the Road Runner, down-and-out human billboard attorney represents Wile E. in a lawsuit against Acme. The film is directed by Dave Green and stars Will Forte, Lana Condor, Luis Guzmán, P.J. Byrne, Kenneth Choi and John Cena. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iu-4SgTw73M BUZZ & REVIEWS: Reviews have been stellar, with the film earning an incredible 95% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where critics call it, “a hilarious delight” and “a clever and madcap underdog saga!” It’s “equal parts heart and wily humor,” “a loving tribute to the most hapless of all Looney Tunes characters” and to the delight/surprise of many, also “a superb piece of filmmaking!” COYOTE VS ACME’S LONG WAY TO THE THEATER: The film is based on the 1990 The New Yorker magazine article "Coyote v. Acme" by Ian Frazier. Development for the film began in 2018, it was filmed in 2022 and scheduled for a 2023 release! But, after completion, Warner Brothers decided to shelve it for a tax write-off! Yikes! But, public backlash and demand caused a change of heart. It was made available for other distributors and a smaller company (Ketchup Entertainment) acquired the film and is releasing it to theaters! It screened it to positive reviews at this year’s Comic-Con and on September 3rd it makes its way to the CMG Calendar! PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 7:00pm showing and meet in the lobby area between 6:40 and 6:50pm! Advance ticket purchase is advised. Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments below! Pre-show Happy Hour at nearby BRAVO! We’ll meet in the Bar Area starting at 5:30pm! CMG Pro Tip: If you can, bring cash for a quick/easy exit! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Contra dance with Big Scioty on Sept. 5 - First Congregational Church

Contra dance with Big Scioty on Sept. 5 - First Congregational Church

Sat, Sep 5, 11:30 PM
From Contra Dance with us - all are welcome!
4.9

**Caller: River Abel** **Band: Raven & Goose** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!

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.
