Best comedy club

Maybe the vibrations from the Big Dig are conducive to quick thinking. For whatever reason, the Improv Asylum in the North End repeats its victory in the comedy-club category. That's about the only predictable thing about the place, where some of Boston's quickest comics dare the audience to come up with a subject they can't turn into a joke. The club has seven weekly performances - no punch line is ever exactly the same - plus a traveling company and a training school for people who want to ad-lib their way to the top.

Improv Asylum, 216 Hanover Street, Boston, (617) 263-6887.
