Hunger, Cheesiness and High School... oh My.
So... its summer. and its fixin to get hot. and, luckily, we have alot of fun- night time- air conditioned activities for you at National Comedy Theatre.
Over the holiday season YOU (The Audience) helped us to collect almost 90 pounds of food that provided more than 60 meals to families in need. Our friends at United Food Bank contacted us and let us know that during the hot summer months they often run very low on food.
We know that our audience is, by far, the awesomest and most generous... so NCT volunteered to help with the Christmas in July Food Drive for United Food Bank.
Now through July 31st you can bring a canned food donation to NCT and receive $2 off the cost of admission. Not only will you get some nationally acclaimed, spontaneous and hilarious competitive comedy for $2 off, you will also get the warm glowing warm glow of knowing you helped some families in need this summer.... you know what... lets call it a cool glowing cool glow instead.
June 4- July 31 at 7:30 & 9:45pm
Get $2.00 OFF admission with your canned food donation.
(you must bring your cans to receive the discount. Can not combine this discount with other offers or disounts. Come on, you knew that already!)
Its time to celebrate your Dad and all he does for you. Here's a great idea, why not combine some of his favorite things into one gift: Laughing his butt off, saving some dough and being embarassingly cheesy! You can do all three at National Comedy Theatre June 18 & 19 with the Cheesy Tie Discount!
Everyone wearing a CHEESY TIE will get $2.00 OFF admission AND be entered to win the CHEESIEST TIE contest for a FREE TICKET PACKAGE... wow.

Great Reviews, Filtered!
Check out these awesome reviews we got on Yelp.com, all 5 starts, that got FILTERED out for some reason and dont appear in our listing!
from Kathleen S. in Mesa, AZ
What a blast! These performers are talented and hilarious. Looking for a fun night out that won't break the bank - you can not beat the National Comedy Theatre. It's a great place for a date & to go with a couple of your best buds.
National Comedy Theatre has no drink minimums like other comedy shows - so girls it's great for your waistline & your pocketbook. And then the fun begins. Really this is funnier than any stand up comedy show I've seen in the Valley. The audience gets to participate but you're not on the spot to do so. A previous reviewer has described the show so I won't bore you. This is a must see. Go tonight - life's short & you don't want to miss this.

WOW! Long live laughter at NCT. Origingal, entertaining, fun and a fair price. What more could you want? P.S. Wheelchair friendly.

Thank you for your reviews and glowing comments, too bad the Yelp.com system decided to throw you out!

Blood Orgy of the Damned
>This time at Movie Mashterpiece theater, NCT takes on a bit of an added challenge: Blood Orgy of the Damned... a film that is so bad that the original audio was lost, so the film is silent...but laughs galore will ensue as we performs a live accompaniment to this b-movie schlock.
>The "Plot" of the film is as follows:
a young group of college co-eds bring pack a vampire prince and his lackey to modern, 20th century, America. Unfortunately, the coeds were drunk off their asses and the ritual was performed a little... off. Zoltan and Legion, our vampire antagonists, resurrected a little poorly. Now, morbidly obese and flaming gay, respectively, the vampires must figure out a way to take a virgin bride, bring back hell on Earth and try not to overeat. Unfortunately for them, they are opposed by the most ludicrous band of heroes ever compiled. Drunk college chicks possessed by long-dead vampire slayers, creepy middle-aged men and even housewives with a predilection for watching reality TV.
another added bonus?

The live soundtrack performed by the Phoenix National Comedy Theatre will be recorded and used in the DVD release, so be there to be a part of history in the making!!
however, you should know... this film is totally R rated... if the description didnt make that clear...
