All dinners include a salad, choice of entrée and dessert. Tax is included in the offer, gratuity will be additional. Screenings at The ShowRoom will follow immediately after dinner.
“This is a perfect pairing for patrons trying to avoid Saturday night crowds or looking to make a week night a little special,” said ShowRoom co-owner Nancy Sabino. “Both The ShowRoom and Restaurant Plan B recognize the importance of working with fellow merchants to offer value-added options for our customers.

Improv at The ShowRoom

The Improv Jam Comedy Lab is an organization of artists from the New Jersey area and beyond, dedicated to providing performance opportunities for comedic artists of all ages, and dedicating ourselves to the expansion of the frontiers of comedy. The Improv Jam Comedy Lab supports the vision of talented writers, directors and performers, and is committed to producing new and previously produced works while also providing a venue for stand-up and improvisational comedy. Through the diversification of our projects and the cross-pollination of artists across multiple disciplines, we look to expand the horizons of our audiences and educate them in the various comedic styles.
History
For 18 years Improv Jam has been a leader in the underground movement to cultivate New Jersey comedy for the masses, creating a unique performance environment that includes every aspect of comedy. Throughout that time our weekly shows have highlighted sketch, improvisation and stand-up comedy giving our audience the opportunity to experience multiple forms of comedy in one evening.
It is this mixture of the various forms of comedy that makes the Improv Jam Comedy Lab unique. Gaps between the various styles of comedy are bridged for performer and audience member alike. Performers from within Improv Jam’s ranks and from the community at large have the rare opportunity to stretch their talents across multiple forms of entertainment in a nurturing environment while audiences are challenged to expand their horizons and educated in forms of comedy they may be less familiar with.
As part of our mission to create performance opportunities we initiated improv comedy classes. Programs such as Summerleague give opportunity to up and coming artists who have talent but have not been able to connect with these larger audiences. These classes also empower the performers to believe in their abilities and push forward to achieve their goals in comedy.

PLEASE JOIN US FOR A SPECIAL EVENT
WILL YOUR LOVED ONES BE LEFT OUT: A comprehensive look at the unique financial challenges facing the Gay and Lesbian community
Federally-Recognized Marriage...State-Recognized Marriage...Civil Union...Domestic Partnership - Understanding these terms and knowing the differences between them can truly be the deciding factor in assuring proper legal and financial planning for you and your family. It is widely known that the lack of Federal recognition of LGBT individuals and couples creates countless legal & financial challenges. Identifying these inequalities is the first step towards equalizing the playing field for all members of the community. During this workshop, we will introduce many of the key legal & financial challenges faced by the LGBT community. Once each challenge is presented, we will highlight several of the planning techniques available to reduce or eliminate each. The topics covered will be presented from a federal perspective and will therefore relate to each individual in attendance, regardless of their economic position or their relationship status.
