The most unique offering is probably Friday night’s Cagematch improv team competition. Come out and support this unique STL venue, or sign up for a class. You can also arrange an improv class as a unique group activity for parties or team building activities.
The Pageant
6161 Delmar Blvd.
St. Louis, MO 63112
(314) 726-6161
www.thepageant.comThe Pageant is one of St. Louis’s best-loved alternative venues for music, but did you know that national comedians often schedule a tour stop here, too? The tradition is for hardcore fans to arrive early, hang out at the Halo Bar and order food from up and down the Loop, because whoever is in the Halo gets first dibs on seating. The Pageant is wild, fun, bold and gritty, everything you love about St. Louis, and especially about Delmar. You can find a list of upcoming Pageant comics, along with other STL comedy events, at Comedy in the Lou‘s website.
