A hearty chuckle has been known to ward off depression, loitering lycans, and roving bands of beatniks. Today’s Groupon reaps the benefits of a boisterous good time: you get admission to a show at The Laugh Shop, the stand-up comedy venue at The Blackfoot Inn.

Choose one of the following options:

•$7 for a Friday or Saturday night show (a $15 value)
•$5 for a Thursday night show (a $10 value)

The Laugh Shop features a fun and ever-changing collection of touring headliners that tumble in and out of town each week. Top-notch, nationally touring funnypersons take to the stage, regaling diverse audiences with side-splitting tales of merriment, matrimony, and mystical visions in the desert. Upcoming acts include master impersonator Kevin McGrath; Andrew Grose, whose credits include specials on The Comedy Network and CTV; and Tim Nutt, whose long locks and beard imbue everything he says with hilarity and a faint almond aftertaste.

The Laugh Shop offers a café menu and a full bar of beverages and booze, so you can satisfy an ornery and growling stomach pre-show to avoid angering the fickle stand-up pantheon.

Shows are for patrons 18 and older with a valid ID. This deal is only valid for regularly priced shows.

Putting your best face forward sometimes requires making your second-best face disappear in an unfortunate “accident.” Today’s deal creates the perfect alibi: you were busy enjoying a facial during the time of its disappearance: for $29, you get a 45-minute basic facial at Turning Heads Hair and Skin Studio (a $59.99 value).

Treat yourself to a luxurious basic facial to ensure your mug is appropriately radiant for an upcoming photo shoot or run-in with the smug neighbourhood glow-worm. During the 45-minute treatment, your face will be gently cleansed, treated to a balancing toner, and slathered with a mask that penetrates deep into the pores and allows you to confess your true feelings to other patrons and passersby in temporary anonymity. One of Turning Heads’ friendly skin-whisperers will follow the mask with a relaxing face massage and a moisturizing day cream.

Paintball is like a production of Hamlet: it’s exciting, demanding, and by the end everyone has pretend-died. Celebrate Shakespearean sporting with today’s Groupon: for $25, you get either two hours of indoor play or four hours of outdoor play, as well as gear rental, mask rental, coveralls rental, and 500 paintballs, at Rampage Paintball (Up to a $54 value). This Groupon can be redeemed at Rampage’s indoor location in Calgary or at its outdoor locations near Millarville and Okotoks. Clients can upgrade their guns, masks, or ammo for additional costs. This deal is not valid on Saturdays.

Weave in and out of a crossfire of colour at one of Rampage Paintball’s three paintball fields. Its 28,000+-square-foot indoor field, Rampage City, puts a roof over the ricocheting back-and-forth of pigment pellets, while its outdoor fields—the more than 80,000 square feet of Urban Combat and the 50 acres of Rampage Outdoor—fill the songbird-soundtracked wilderness with the zip of paintballs cutting through the air like steak knives through a birthday card. Seek cover behind bunkers and obstacles as you target opponents lurking around each corner. The paintball gun included with this deal is a basic Model 98 marker. Guests can purchase additional paintballs (prices vary by location) should the initial supply run out in a Pollock-esque blaze of rainbow-evoking glory.
