An incredible live, clean comedy show in Colorado Springs

Take a look at the great entertainment we have in the Colorado Springs area. Locally, we have an improv comedy troupe who have won awards for Best Live Comedy, Best Artist, Best Actor (Toby Lorenc) and Actress (Lacey Maynard), Best Theater Troupe, and the list goes on.

The Stick Horses in Pants provide a great alternative to expensive movies and other entertainment. Most of their shows are $10 or less for adults and you get to be actively involved with their spontaneous, clean comedy (however, they are very gracious to not involve you if you don't want to be in the spotlight). All their content is created by the audience, starting each game with an "ask" (a.k.a audience suggestion) and then creating an impromptu scene based on the suggestion.

It's a great night out for a date, family, or just friends. Now, the Stick Horses has partnered with The Loft Music Venue to book the 2nd Friday of each month for an hour-and-a-half comedy show. The shows start at 8:00pm and usually run until almost 10:00pm with a small intermission.

Although there are several improv groups in the Colorado Springs area, the Stick Horses are different. Their shows are clean and family friendly. And...they're actually amazing entertainment for this community. I've seen improv on cruise ships, major cities, and top-notch conferences but these guys are better than any of the groups I've seen.

The group has been together since 2004 and you can tell they "know one another." They work well together and put on an amazing, entertaining show.

Take a look at their upcoming dates:

You can save a little money by purchasing tickets online through the Loft, but even if you buy tickets at the door ($10 each) it's totally worth the price for over an hour of side-splitting entertainment.

Indy GIVE! is a great way to support Colorado Springs non-profits

With so many non-profits in the Colorado Springs area, sometimes it's hard to even know what organizations are in need of donations. But for the last two years, the Colorado Springs Independent has made it very easy and rewarding to help Colorado Springs non-profits.

The Indy GIVE! campaign is targeting younger donors to support their local community through donating to the groups that support this community through the arts, environment, wellness, and more. All participating non-profits have been through and application and review process to be included in the campaign. This year, the public has over 40 organizations they can donate to, with a minimum $10 donation per organization.

The non-profits included truly support and enrich the Colorado Springs community.  For instance, Designated Driver of Colorado Springs provides free transportation if you've had too much to drink. Not only do they get you home, they get your car to your house too! They rely on tips, donations, and community support for their services so a campaign like IndyGive! is crucial to their survival. Read more about how their services are benefiting from IndyGIVE! Also check out some of the arts and cultural organizations who provide places to be creative, opportunities for emerging artists, and unique entertainment.

Local Colorado Springs Artist

If you're looking for a great way to decorate your home and support the local community, consider purchasing original art by a local Colorado Springs artist. Hyde House Art has a great variety of mixed media art that can compliment any decor color scheme. Whether you're looking for glass art to brighten a room or add elegance to a window, or perhaps a unique 3D piece to fill boring shelf space, Hyde House Art has everything you could want.
You can tell the artist has a passion for what she does - each piece is unique and has it's own story about life experiences of the artist. She's a process-oriented artist and loves the conceptual design and creation of every piece she handcrafts. Even in her photography, you can sense the emotion and deep personal experiences that help form the final product.
Please at least check out her work online and, of course, she would be thrilled if you chose to support the Colorado Springs art community by purchasing one of her pieces.
