    UNM AreacomedyTickets

    Improv comedy night at The Box, co-presented with Improv Theatre, meaning the performers likely have actual training and structure behind them rather than a loose open-mic feel. The Box is a small, close-quarters room where there's no real bad seat, but there's also nowhere to hide if you get pulled into a bit. Tickets are...

The Box is a small black-box room where the audience sits close enough to watch the improvisers' faces when a scene goes sideways, which is half the pleasure. At 45 minutes, it's a tight enough window that...

    UNM Areaarts & cultureTickets

    Hosted by Kopidion, this mod '60s variety show plays in The Box's black-box format, which tends to collapse the distance between performers and audience in ways that bigger stages simply can't.

    Triple-A ball under the Sandia sunset, with the Isotopes taking on Sugar Land in what is reliably one of the better mid-summer crowds of the home schedule. Isotopes Park sits right on Central, and the upper deck on the third-base side catches the last of the light in a way that makes the $15 ticket...
