Team laughs

September 4, Secret Handshake Society

Sketch comedy is hilarious live theater with jokes covering all things slapstick, absurd, intellectual, highbrow and lowbrow. The Sacramento Comedy Spot now has its own team, the Secret Handshake Society, which performs the first Friday night of the month. The group compares its style to the likes of what you'll find on Saturday Night Live and The Whitest Kids U' Know. Interested in joining up? The Comedy Spot holds sketch classes also. 9 p.m. Friday, September 4, $12. 1050 20th Street; www.facebook.com/comedyspotsketch.
