ATMOSPHERE
The Improv (when a few more tweaks are complete) will be the largest venue for comedy in the country - with a capacity of over 500. The beautiful, welcoming interior creates the perfect atmosphere for a night out on the town, rather 'burbs, with great décor, service and attention to comfort. Although you won't get the stereotypical smoky, cramped feel of comedy joints, you will get the dimmed lights, great acoustics, and room for tons of laughs in The Improv.
CROWD
Even though The Improv has only had a few months to establish itself as a big time player in the Chicago comedy scene, many patrons are flooding to this hidden gem in Woodfield Mall. Thursdays through Sundays are packed with comedy fans while business executives and dining guests utilize the perfect venue during off hours.
SPIRITS
The Improv built a brilliant bar both in the main venue and the waiting area. Both bars are fully equipped with both top-shelf and affordable alcoholic options. The Improv could easily overcharge for spirits, but the fairly priced beverages are perfect for any budget. As many other comedy clubs require, there is a two drink requirement for every show. If you are not in the mood for a stylish martini, soda is always an option.
GRUB
If you plan your night right, make a reservation, and book a seat before show time, then you will be greeted to a fantastic menu full of items for any taste. The Improv caters to the bar-craving comedy eaters too, as an appetizer menu is available throughout the show. The nachos are perfect and come in a generous proportion - perfect to share with a friend.
PRICES
For a comedy show be prepared to dish out between $15-23, which is very reasonable for the level of entertainment you will get.
WHY IT'S UNIQUE
It's huge. It's in the 'burbs. It's gorgeous. The Improv is basically the comedy heaven of the real world.
