Comedy Clubs in the South Suburbs of Chicago, Illinois

Chicago has had a long love affair with stand-up and improvisational comedy, and many a stand-up and improv comedian has cut their chops in the Windy City. While the number of comedy clubs has waned since their heyday in the 80s, a number of them are still sprinkled throughout the vast Chicagoland area, including the South Suburbs.

  1. The Comedy Shrine

    • The Comedy Shrine in Naperville features shows seven days a week including some that are family friendly. Monday is open mic night, with local stand-up comedians taking the stage.

      22 E. Chicago Ave.
      2nd Floor
      Naperville, IL 60540

    Zanies Comedy Club

    • The St. Charles location of the Zanies Comedy Club is part of the Pheasant Run Resort and as Zanies is the "big gun" of the local comedy scene, it is able to regularly draw well-known nationally touring comedians.

    Riddles Comedy Club

    • Riddles in south suburban Alsip is a great value--the tickets to its shows are almost the same as going to the movies, but instead of watching a Hollywood retread you get your funny bone tickled by both new and veteran comedians.

      Riddles Comedy Club
      5055 W. 111th St.
      Alsip, IL 60803
      (708) 422-5055
