My wife and I took our 7 year old grandaughter to Chicago and Comedy Sportz for the first time. The show was very good and many laughs were had. The content for a 7 year old was appropriate and there was no off color comedy.

I have to say. I was a bit skeptical of a 'fun for all' type of place. We went for my son's 12th bday... and i was hoping it wasn't going to be too kiddish. However, i was blown away at how entertaining, fun, interactive and did i mention "FUNNY" it was! My son absolutely loved it and wanted to come back soon! This is a great place for some fun for all! It was great! Great show!

Excellent evening. I've seen a bunch of improv shows in Europe, but nothing compared to what I saw here. If you don't go watch this, you'll be doing yourself a disfavor !

Comedysportz is a fun event for teenagers and adults of all ages. By asking the audience for advice they create a new show every time you see them. Being located right next to the El (for Chicago) it is easily accessable and worth the ride. Cheap drinks and loads of different shows for all ages.

I went with my 11 year old son and three of his friends looking for something fun to end the day with on NY's eve. The special 5:00 pm show turned out perfectly for us. The extra touch of party hats, horns, countdown and cider to toast the NY someplace in the Atlantic were really nice, especially for the children. A very talented, funny, clever, high energy cast. It was definitely something different for the kids and very fast-paced, so they may or may not have gotten all the punchlines, but they did enjoy it. Can see the show getting a little out of hand with a really young or rowdy crowd as mentioned in other reviews, but the "referee" was in control and involved the audience well. Overall, something unique to take the kids to. I look forward to going back for another night of family-friendly comedy.

ComedySportz is the best family fun for our gang hands down! I only wish they had a better system for admission seeing as they are general admission and you know how people are (last to arrive, first to be seated????)

Liked to be able to find a club offering a great improv show that I could take my parents, a child in college and a child of 12! All enjoyed it and it's in a great area of Chicago to have dinner before. Need to get there 1/2 hr early. The venue is small and the seating is first come/first served.

this show was very funny and it was my first improv show. the teams were both equally as funny. i was a little hesistant that since it was family friendly it wouldnt be as good. it was actually way better the whole time we were laughing out loud. there is a pretty good bar there too with good service. i would recomend it to anyone that wants to have a good laugh and doesnt want to do the same old comedy club thing.

Excellent show for the whole family. Proves you can keep humor clean and still be very funny.

Don't bother with the 8pm show if you're hoping for comedy. This is Nickelodeon style "mad libs" at its most annoying. I haven't seen the 10pm show, but dont bother with the 8pm show if you're looking for what's typically thought of as an "improv comedy show."

SOOOOO funny & clean. I knew Comedians could be funny without being vulgar. Two thumbs up kids, well they're kids to me anyway, hahaha. I flew all the way from S California to Chicago to take a friend to the show for her birthday. She LOVED it too. Great times. Thank you Comedy Sportz!

an improv group that gets it! WITTY YES, Clever YES. But most of all they were FUNNY. Drop dead hilarious! My friends and I went down and bought tickets to the next show we were laughing so hard from the first one. and it was even better! True professionals that truly enjoy making people laugh. A must see in the Chicago Improv Scene! And I've seen them all.

this is a really fun show. you can bring kids who will like the energy and enthusiasm but also adults will enjoy the comedy. they don't do anything racy, but you still laugh really hard. every time they play five things i laugh a lot.

After reading some of the other reviews here, I had mediocre expectations for this show... But IT WAS HILARIOUS! My mom laughed so hard and still talks about it. Which I'm happy to have her replace her last improv experience (which included bestiality. it wasn't funny.) with this one. The energy in the room was so amazing, the performers really kept us entertained and the format of the show was fun. I think if you want a show that isn't based on trying to "shock" you or "offend sensibilities" to be funny, then this is the place for you

Visiting Chicago from a smaller city where our ComedySportz players are fantastic, I figured "bigger pool of talent should equal better fun." Boy, was I wrong!! I know the entire fault didn't lie with the cast (a couple of the players were quite good), but it was the longest 47 minutes of a paid "entertainment" event ever. The crowd was small, 95% college kids, but it was, in plain words, JUST NOT FUNNY. Save your money and get the extra hour of sleep.

Goofy and cheesy - not very funny and lots of silly extras that where annoying and not needed. Go to see a Second City Show instead. Not worth even half the price of admission. Absolutely awful.

My sister came into town and we caught the Comedysportz show on a Saturday night. We were exhausted from a day of walking around downtown and had just planned on catching an improv show after dinner at Leona's. The cast was so energetic that by the time intermission came around, we'd forgotten how tired we were. The cast had a great rapport with the audience and with each other, and even the ref had us cracking up. Had we not done so much that day already, we probably would have stayed for the later show. Basically, if you need a good laugh and you don't at least think of going to Comedysportz, you're missing out.

I brought some friends from out of town here and we had a great time! I was a little worried at first that it would be lame because it is a family friendly show, but it was still really funny. The comedians had so much energy on stage and were so quick. I've been to Zanies and liked that, but this was totally different. I recommend it!

The folks at comedy sportz were very nice. The show was not what I expected though. I guess I don't expect a gradeschool kids birthday party at a Saturday night show. I figured one of the comedians kids was the birthday boy, but Saturday nights are for adults. Kiddie shows should be kept for daylight hours.VThis really spoiled it for my wife and I. Ok, that said the comedians were funny. If you like the TV show , Who's line is it anyway, you will like this show. About the same level of funny. Will I go again? Eh, maybe. Recommend the pre midnight show to friends? No. Go to Zanies or Second city.

Bottom line, the show is meant for familys, so if you have some kids then it is a great place to go to that you might find some enjoyment in. However, for a young adult like myself, I wouldn't reccomend the show mainly because most young adults don't like a show that is G rated like this one.

I have seen Comedy Sportz many times before. I went to the 6:00 show, and because of that, there were many kids. There was also a much smaller audience. Because of this, the energy was lower, and many of the jokes had to be lowered to the kid's level. However, all of the performers still did a great job, and after the first couple games I was in hysterics.

I will always respect people who do improve, it's very hard to not only be topical, and funny, but clean enough for the younger audience. I thought there was no way to keep it "clean", but they did, and I was entertained for the whole show.

We visited Chicago from London England on the lookout for some challenging comedy but sadly we were disappointed here. This was an evening show which seemed to be pitched at college students but in fact seemed skewed to 12 year olds - with large parties of these in the audience. But even 12 year olds can be treated like adults (without necessarily offering 'adult' ie blue material).The standard of improv here was pretty routine and obvious - often very laboured and distinctly lacking an any sense of irony. Being brought up on the world-class improv of London's Comedy Store we'd hoped for something even edgier from our US cousins - we also visted Second City and that was better but still not outstanding - more under graduate. Like comedysportz just not mature or sophisticated enough. Frankly both were a disappointment.

I was in Chicago with my 17-year-old and 15-year-old who are hard to impress these days. Despite the grumpy attitudes going in, they laughed and thought it was fun (even though they wouldn't admit it). It is a nice middle-ground between something toddler-ish and something that has a minimum entrance age of 21. And, it was really easy to find off the El.

This show exceeded my expectations by far! The two teams gave incredibly funny performances and I just kept wondering how they can come up with those lines without seeming to think about it. The idea of having two teams battle each other playing improv games with a referee presenting the show is a great one and makes this show special. The audience was included, too, giving suggestions and the teams would get volunteers up on stage. Every actor could relate really well to the audience, too, since the chairs and tables were all really close to the stage which was a big plus. I loved it and I'm gonna go again for sure! I can only recommend going and finding out for yourselves what an amazing show they put together.

My boyfriend and I went to this show while we were visiting Chicago. We both act and perform and he used to do some improv. We love improv so our expectations were high. I have to say they were met and even exceeded! I loved that the show was family friendly - I think it makes the performers have to think a little harder and faster to make a joke that why anyways. I loved the audience participation as well.

So much fun!! Great family outing. Sometimes hard to find a "fun" place to take kids. It was perfect for our 11yo and 16yo sons. Night of laughter for all of us!

ComedySportz in Chicago was an amazing, family friendly improv show. My son (13 years old) and I were in Chicago for fun (and some work for me). We loved the show - it was funny and very family friendly. We will definitely return to ComedySportz the next time we are in Chicago.

The show was good and tendered for younger audiences which was great. I did not think the improv was truly as improv as it could have been based on attending an improv show for kids in New York a few months ago. They (NYC) truly went with the recommendations by the audience which was truly improv and so truly funny that the cast could not stop laughing a few times. I felt this show was more controlled not as improv as we have experienced .... But That said I thought the comedians were very good.

It was a great show! I recently saw this with my young adult kids and we all loved it! It was a great price for a fun night. Arrive early for general admission seating and you'll get a great seat. There was an annoying audience member but the improv actors handled her well.

We went for my husband's birthday and wanted something to include our 12 and 16 year old but still funny for my older kids. This was a lot of fun and everyone laughed out loud! I was worried about the sports theme for my daughter but it was funny for everyone.

I liked the low-key venue. The comedians, though not the cream of the crop, were pretty good. I enjoyed the a variety of comedic styles among them. None felt particularly local/Chicagoan, but that didn't matter. I say the show is worth it if you live there or if you're on a long enough vacation (mine was 7 days). If you're looking to explore Chicago in a shorter time, however, you should probably leave this show out of your schedule.

It was generally alright. Not terrible but not laughing so hard your stomach hurt. Would not go again. A lot of kids at the 8 pm show on a Saturday was perplexing.

Very funny show. The show was upbeat and nonstop laughter. Also, they made a point to make the show family friendly (i.e. the audience was not even allowed to make inappropriate suggestions), so this would be one of the few shows you'd be able to bring children to. Yet myself, my elderly mother, and my teenage nephew all laughed throughout the show.

I bought tickets to ComedySportz on a recommendation from my sister who saw the show with her daughter last summer. I took my two granddaughters ages 8 and 17. The three of us loved the show! We laughed and laughed! The audience involvement is great! The ad lib comedy is fantastic! We will go again when we visit Chicago. A friend asked for restaurant recommendations for Chicago two hours after I got home yesterday. I have her food places to eat and also told her ComesySportz is a must see!

My husband and I, along with our two teens, attended Comedy Sportz. Loved the small theater size--there is not a bad seat in the house. The entire audience seemed to enjoy themselves. The comedy was family-friendly. You could tell the cast was having a great time, too. Would definitely recommend, and we will absolutely put this on a our calendar for another Chicago visit.

Was looking for a nice family friendly venue, though my kids are in their early Twenties, don't enjoy going to raunchy shows with them! They loved it, and my wife and I also loved the show. It was great to see even families with very young kids there...all had a great time and the performing staff there really did a great job engaging the younger kids. Definitely recommend this show for families!

It was a really great show. They were doing some sort of prohibition theme, and that threw me off initially. But once the show got going it was great. The ref was really interactive and funny, which isn't what I normally expect from Comedysportz. Usually they are a little less hands-on, but this guy really knew how to work a crowd. Overall it was a really great experience and would recommend to anyone/everyone. My only complaint, if there is something to complain about, is that there was an absence of food on the menu.. Not really necessary, just something to note.
