Dog Night, Prom Night and More Round Out 'Summer Madness' at Jet City Improv

Every Friday and Saturday this summer, Jet City Improv has been putting a twist on its flagship show with drink specials, costumes, prizes, and ticket discounts during its annual Summer Madness event.

Performances of Jet City Improv on Saturday nights through September 24 feature a special theme and drink discount (e.g. $1 off all drinks for those wearing formal attire on Prom Night) or promotional giveaway (e.g. hot dogs at Meat Night) on top of an outrageous night of live comedy based on audience suggestions.

The remaining schedule of themed Saturday night shows is as follows:

DOG NIGHT

Sat Aug 13

8:00 & 10:30

Audience members are invited to bring their polite, well-mannered dog to enjoy a night of improvised comedy featuring members of the Jet City Improv ensemble and their dogs, too! Any audience member that brings their canine companion to the show will receive a $1 discount on all their drinks and concessions and receive a complimentary treat for their furry friend provided by The Seattle Barkery and All The Best Pet Care.

HIPSTER NIGHT

presented in partnership with TeenTix

Sat Aug 20

8:00 & 10:30

Enjoy a night of cruelty-free, organic, small-batch artisan comedy! Volunteers from TeenTix will be on hand to make you look and feel legit with special accessories from the Hipstification Station and every audience member that completes the look with their own empty glass jar from home will receive $1 off every drink and snack purchase. Once the show begins, expect vinyl records and cassette tapes as prizes for every suggestion of the night (probably from some band you've never heard of) and a chance to request your favorite totally obscure songs to play between scenes. Don't forget to round out the night with a special overpriced coffee at the bar so you can post it to Instagram!

SAUSAGE FEST

Sat Aug 27

10:30 only

Who's in the mood for a little meat? Every advance ticket purchased before 6:00pm on the day of the show comes with the guarantee of a juicy, delicious sausage hot off the grill when you arrive at the theater. Also, this particular performance will feature an all-male cast of improvisers -it is a sausage fest, after all. The female equivalent, Taco Night, will take placeSeptember 24.

THE GREAT INDOORS CAMPOUT

Sat Sept 3

8:00 & 10:30

Anyone looking for adventure over the holiday weekend are invited to skip the sunscreen and bug spray in favor of comedy and air conditioning. All the best parts of camping will be alive and well inside the Jet City Improv theater including s'mores cocktails at the bar, free friendship bracelets, and the unmistakable scent of simulated pine. It's all the fun of nature without any of the actual dirt!

LIGHT NIGHT

Sat Sept 10

8:00 & 10:30

Time to show off Jet City Improv's brand new LED stage lights! Every audience member will be handed a free glowstick when they arrive to help decorate the darkness. Audience members who also bring a flashlight or something that glows in the dark will help the show really shine and get $1 off all of their drinks and snacks. Games will feature special lighting effects, scenes in the dark, and at the end of the night one lucky person will be going home with one of our old and freshly-retired lighting instruments as the best suggestion prize.

PROM NIGHT

Sat Sept 17

Prom photos 7:30 and 10:00

Showtimes 8:00 and 10:30

A cast of real-life couples from the Jet City Improv ensemble host a night you'll remember forever! Couples that come to the show in suits and dresses will get $1 off all drinks - including spiked punch - and the first 25 couples through the door at each show will receive a complimentary corsage and boutonniere set to really complete the look. A prom photographer will be on hand for 30 minutes leading up to showtime to capture everyone's awkward poses and we'll end the night with the crowning of Prom King and Prom Queen and an all-audience slow dance before sending everyone off into the night to make good choices. Now's the time to book a limo and a hotel room.

TACO NIGHT

Sat Sept 24

8:00 & 10:30

It's the necessary follow-up to Sausage Fest - it's Taco Night! Round up your girlfriends for a night of comedy featuring an all-female cast of improvisers and $1 off drinks and snacks for all women in attendance. Free dessert tacos will be handed out to the first 50 guests through the door at each show to help bury the feeling of sadness as another summer comes to a close.
