Looking for something fun to do Friday night in Norfolk?
Five Dollar Comedy at Push is a surefire ticket to laughs and something fun to do on a Friday night in Norfolk. Whether it’s a quick night out with friends or you’re celebrating the weekend, Push Comedy Theater brings you discounted tickets at just $5.00 for a full night of improv comedy.
Harold Night is one of Push’s longest-running shows and is the big, bad granddaddy of all long-form improv! Normally improv is a bunch of fun games and small scenes. But with Harold Night, with a single audience suggestion multiple scenes and characters are weaved together to create a full world by Push Comedy Theater’s top improvisers. These characters eventually meet and crossover, and who knows where things will go from there. Because it’s all made up of the spot… right before your eyes.
Harold Night is bizarre, magical, and gets weird, really fast. So if you’re looking for something adventurous and fun to do on Thursday night in Norfolk, grab your tickets and settle in for Harold Night. This show typically features two improv teams and has one, 10-minute intermission. So there’s plenty of time to use the restroom and grab a beverage without missing a beat. It’s the cheapest comedy ticket in town, and you’re guaranteed to see a show that no one has seen before.
Before film and television (but after oral tradition), there were books! Books still exist to this very day as a popular means of storytelling. Here at The Push Comedy Theater, we’ve decided to celebrate the staying power of books by starting our very own book club!
Bring your favorite book and tell us about it. Our talented team of improvisers (voracious readers, all) will perform the entire story before your very eyes in about 20 minutes.
From classic literature to pulp fiction, we’re ready to introduce your favorite book to the world! Push Book Club is a fully improvised show. You bring the book… we’ll share it with the audience the best way we can… completely improvised.
