How about attending a comedy show where the act-letes perform on the spot, based on suggestions from the audience? Such kind of interactive and improvisational comedy is the flavor of the theater group called the ComedySportz. The performers present clean comedy that is anything but boring. When you watch people enact a certain situation at the spur of the moment, the comic timing increases many folds, this is where intelligent comedy ropes in. ComedySportz offers a quality laughter-session every time, with every group that it performs fornational events, college shows and corporate events.
this place is great. I have only been a handful of times and i think its the best place in town. I love the idea that the show is audience based suggestions, which not only keeps the audience involved but makes the show more interactive and more fun. I was skeptical about the show the first time i saw it because with improv comedy it is always hit or miss, and this show was def a HIT! I loved every minute of it. And would def recommend it to others.
I went to the main stage ComedySportz show and had a fantastic time. The players are hilarious, and the show was very interactive, which was fun. The advent of a bar made it even more fun! I want to bring my friends back sometime soon, its a really nice theatre as well. Its located near wrigleyville and lakeview, so you can hit up the other bars afterwards as well, a great place to start the night!
Went to the Halstad/Chicago location (they might be moving?) and it was amazing. 8:00 Saturday, full house and very clean(like others mentioned) and so funny. Definitely great for a family and great for adult groups too - there were five of us (all in our 30s) and we all loved it. Bar upstairs, nice location downstairs and we could bring in our drinks. Place was small enough to not have a bad seat, and big enough that you are part of a crowd.
It's set up as a true sporting event, with two teams of three that compete for a trophy and a ref to lead us through the event. Audience choice as to who the winner is by scoring each event - the group with the highest score wins.
