Something Dada at Big Dog

The improv impresarios of Something Dada have been making Clevelanders laugh for more than 16 years, with sketch comedy performances created entirely from audience suggestions. Tonight, the fast-paced, in-your-face company comes to the newly launched Big Dog Theater in Coventry, with a show that they promise will be "all new, all different, just like always." The troupe, incidentally, will be on the road a lot in coming months. In April, they'll leave their home in the Tower Press Building in favor of venues around town. But don't worry: "The only difference is that Something Dada will be bringing the funny to you," says general manager Russel Stich. Doors for tonight's show open at 7 p.m. and the funny starts at 8. Tix are $10 for adults and $8 for students with ID. It's cash only at the door, or snag your tickets in advance by phone at 216-472-3636 or online at bigdogtheater.com. Big Dog Theater is at 2781 Euclid Heights Blvd. in Cleveland Heights. — Chrissy Niehaus
