If you could see Nebraska through my eyes, you'd enjoy the excellent local comedy scene. The Backline Comedy Theater in downtown Omaha is home to sketch, stand-up and improv comedy shows. Thursday through Saturday nights, you can catch hours of hilarious performances by the best local comics. With inexpensive admission prices and inexpensive drinks, it's a great place to take a date or a group of friends. The Backline also offers long-form improv and sketch classes that I have really enjoyed over the years and through which I have made many close friends!
