A sibling of the famous Hollywood comedy club, the Ontario Improv features the stand-up stars of tomorrow, as well as present-day headliners like Paul Rodriguez, Rob Schneider and Joe Rogan. The drinks flow freely and cost no more than at most cocktail lounges, and there is also a menu offering tacos, fried calamari, spaghetti and burgers. This is a small, intimate venue ­ which makes it fun ­ but be prepared to stand in line.

Dinner theaters have largely faded from the scene, but the concept is fundamentally sound: enjoy both a dinner and show for less than what it normally costs to do just one or the other. At Candlelight Pavilion, dishes like baked manicotti and tortilla-crusted tilapia are offered (as well as optional upgrades), all consumed while enjoying classics like Bye, Bye, Birdie or The King and I. Seats range from $48 to $68.
