June 12th - First Laughs at Ellis House: An Improv Comedy Night
Improv Comedy Night
First Laughs at Ellis House is our first public event inside Ellis House, and we’re kicking things off with a night of live improv comedy.
We’re partnering with a local non-profit improv comedy group Yesandia for a completely unscripted show where every scene, joke, and moment is made up on the spot. No scripts. No repeats. Just a room full of people, local performers, and whatever happens next.
Doors open at 6:30 PM and the show runs from 7:00–9:30 PM. Come early, grab your spot, and be part of the first night of many at Ellis House.
What to expect: A casual, live comedy show built from audience suggestions. The performers make everything up in real time, so the show is different every time. Seating is limited, and the vibe is relaxed, social, and fun.
Ticket options: Standing Room Only gives you access to the show without a reserved seat. Seated tickets include a seat for one guest. The VIP Couch Area includes lounge-style seating for up to 6 guests.
Location: Ellis House, 1200 Ellis Blvd NW, Cedar Rapids, IA 52405
