The Tedeschi Trucks Band is offering free tickets to Wednesday night’s show for local first responders, furloughed government employees and active duty military personnel.

“One of the best ways to deal with adversity is to laugh,” says Steven Disbrow, Improv Chattanooga co-founder and producing director. “And it certainly helps to be able to go on a date night once in a while, too.”
Disbrow says free admission to Improv Chattanooga’s comedy shows is also extended to spouses and significant others.
