MONDO! — this Saturday at the Cabaret at Theater
Square — might be an improvisational comedy show, but the rules are a little more complicated than your typical wacky-suggestion-from-the-audience format. A celebrity host — the “Mondo” — opens the show with personal stories, opinions and memories, providing the in-house improv troop with comedic fodder. This month’s host is Rob Johnson (pictured), host of “See and Be Seen” and “Rob on the Run” on WPXI.com. 10:30 p.m. Sat., Dec. 29. 655 Penn Ave., Downtown. $5.
