This place was great! I went & saw a show this past Friday night & it was hilarious. I thought that it might be sort of lame or kiddie at first, but it was great! It was still kid friendly content, while at the same time funny enough for me & my friend. His kids loved it. He loved it. His wife loved it. I loved it! Kudos to Comedysportz! Pros: Family Friendly, Full bar, Funny

Comedysportz is amazing! My girlfriend and I went to see the show on a Friday and we couldn't believe how awesome it was. Normally, improv is pretty hit-or-miss, but this place has its act together; there wasn't a single moment when I wasn't laughing. I even got the chance to get on stage with the cast (Comedysportz is very big on audience participation, as I found out). Probably the best part about the whole thing was that they kept the material clean. It's very hard to find clean entertainment that's as funny as this show; I was very pleasantly surprised! I figured the material would be extremely toned down, but the whole audience was right there with the actors every step of the way. It's not a kids show, but if I had a kid, I would definitely have taken him (or her). My girlfriend and I are looking forward to going back to see some of the late-night series shows, which are a variety of different improvised (and comedy) shows ranging from stand-up comedy to improvised movie-making (coincidentally, this is their Wednesday night lineup). They also offer an "adult show" on Saturdays at midnight (probably not for kids) and a college night on Thursdays. The laughs are clean, the drinks are cold (they have a fairly nice bar), and the prices are just right. Definitely a great way to spend an evening. Pros: Funny; appropriate for all ages; great show variety; audience participation; very high energy Cons: Parking's a little rough (TAKE THE "L" YOU CAN SEE THEM FROM THE PLATFORM); can't bring in outside beverages

For someone not knowing what to expect this show was amazing. Going into the show I was very skeptical because improv comedy can be either very good or VERY BAD. I actually have been to two of the comedy shows at their new venue and they both have been amazing. The better show was on Friday night when I actually saw the main-stage show, they performed games I have never seen before but also because I didn't know what to expect it was even funnier than imagined. But for a great value the Free comedy Wednesday for the price, is the best in town. But if you get a chance, you should definitely stop by and see pone of their shows Pros: nice venue, and atmosphere. and free magnets in the bathroom

When I first came to the ComedySportz Theatre I wasn't sure what to expect- either really corny or extremely hilarious, especially since it was my first time going to a comedy show...Well, I can definitely say that extremely hilarious was an understatement. I brought my friends along with me and I had to constantly hound them for a tissue to wipe my tears that came from laughing so much. I remember there was one specific game they played where the blue team had to describe a phrase to one specific person on their team only using jibberish and that person had to interpret the phrase to win...The jibberish in addition to the crazy behavior tickled me so that I had to dismiss myself for a minute because I couldn't stop laughing. That was the icing on the cake. If you're looking for a show that's way TOOO FUNNY, then stop your search, the ComedySportz Theatre is what you're looking for! Trust me, you won't regret it !!! Pros: Steps from the Belmont El train stop, Nice wait staff

I came in on a Wednesday night to see some amature comics perform, expecting it to be a slow night. First of all, the food was beyond excellent. I had a burger that was out of this world. Only problem was that i almost choaked on my burger when i saw this comic named Big Daddy on stage. He had me falling out of my chair. That man is going to be a huge star, and the ComedySportz Theatre seems like the perfect place to start. The atmosphere was totally comfortable, warm, and inviting, and i definately will be back. Pros: Big Daddy Cons: hard to find

I went to ComedySportz this weekend and had a great time. I had recently been to see the IO?s improv theater and have to say that ComedySportz was the better of two. The skits and comedy were much more organized, and the cast members have to actually be funny to get such laughs without being vulgar. ComedySportz was a riot, and had me laughing the whole time. Great show!

I know that you ususally have to really be in the mood to go to any comedy show, but I assure you, Comedy Sportz is different. Not only is everyone at the theatre amazing, but the actors are truely hilarious, as opposed to genericly funnny. It's different from other comedy shows because it's clean and doesnt count on vulgarity to sell seats. Last time I went, it was the day before the superbowl, so you know all of chicago was burning with excitement. To celebrate, the theatre had members of the indianapolis team come here and play. It was hysterical! I thought they were going to tell sports jokes the whole time, but they didn't. They sang, and danced, and were absolutely great! I deffinately recommend going checking this show out. There's nothing else like it! Pros: Parking, Bar
