This sketch/improv comedy theater's name is a play on Denver's old reputation as a "cowtown." At the BMT, you have several options, all of them side-splittingly funny. "The Sketch Comedy Show" is a hilarious, often-changing scripted performance in the tradition of Monty Python, Saturday Night Live and Kids In The Hall, with sketches, videos and songs. "On The Spot" remains a local favorite, using the audience's unique suggestions to improvise scenes, games, and songs to make newcomers or regulars laugh themselves silly! "The Battle Royale" sees Denver's best improv teams go head to head in a belly-laugh inducing contest. Finally, if you want to get in on the action, the BMT offers classes in the fine art of improvising. Check the website for a full schedule.
