Comedy clubs in Chicago are second to none. Largely because there is no improv like Chicago improv. Discover the best of the Chicago comedy scene here on Goldstar, and get tickets today!
Improv comedy was changed forever when a group of friends in Chicago decided to found The Second City in the 1950s. Some of the world’s greatest comedians got their start at the original Second City in Chicago, including folks like Amy Poehler, Chris Farley, and Gilda Radner. This company and institutions like iO Theater and Annoyance Theatre keep the tradition alive and showcase the importance of live comedy in Chicago.
Although improvisation is the name of the game, several shows around the city at least have a theme to go off of. So while some of the performances at a place like Second City’s Etc. stage may have a partly scripted slant, but much of their work is still in the improv lane. A night out at a Chicago improv show will truly never be like any other you’ve seen before. Get ready to laugh and book comedy tickets on Goldstar.
