At 7PM it’s time for the free Improv Comedy workshop at Kanawha Players Theater. Great minds gather and do funny stuff until 9 PM. This is growing into a pretty impressive scene.

Another impressive scene is the Stand-Up Comedy open mic at Mojo’s in South Charleston. At 9 PM, almost every Thursday, area comedians will thrill, delight and try out new material on unsuspecting bar patrons. It’s cover-free and there’s a chance that you’ll get to see someone who will be on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast in ten years, crying about how they ruined their career with drugs and horrible behavior.
