Chicago is famous for legendary blues and jazz, which can be heard nightly in venues throughout the city. Of course, Chicago’s music scene can also take an indie turn, or a hip hop spin, or electronic, or just plain rock n’ roll. Whatever is on your iPod is also in Chicago.

And if you like to laugh, you’ve come to the right place. From traditional stand-up to competitive improv to sketch, find it at Chicago’s top comedy clubs.
