Ana ParrottAugust 9, 2017Moved from NYC. My husband and I love comedy, we hadn't found a spot that was as good as the ones we used to go to in NYC. Zanies is awesome! TIP: free on Tuesdays if you live in the neighborhood!
Redeye ChicagoAugust 3, 2014This legendary comedy club offers a jam-packed lineup of stand-up comics every night of the week, plus special showcases such as The Female Funnies, held once a month on Mondays. Read more- Fernando CovasSeptember 2, 2014Great selection of comedians with different styles. Make sure to arrive early, as the place packs up well before shows start. Also, don't forget the two drink minimum per person!
Dana DanielleSeptember 11, 2016You go for the comedy not the drinks and food:) It's always freezing make sure to layer your clothes! Awesome comedians!
Christopher KingMarch 4, 2014Get there early before any show; drinks: $5 soda/call drink; $8.50 cocktail; food seemed reasonably priced, although didn't have any ($4-5.50 pretzels/nacho cheese); quaint venue- L KAugust 24, 2014Drinks are strong but tasty. The audience is packed in like sardines, so try to arrive early for a close seat.
