The Comedy Shrine draws out unstifled snorts with classes and performances from a house company of improvisers culled from laugh institutions such as Second City, iO, and ComedySportz. These malleable jesters congregate on Thursday nights for Improv-Able Cause, an evening of long-form improv tied together by a consistent theme or narrative. Short-form improv gets attention on the weekends during Whose Line? Inspired by the hit TV show Whose Line Is It Anyway?, each performance involves word games and spontaneously created scenarios and characters. Whose Line? The Naughty Show spices up the proceedings with raunchy profanity, innuendo, and adults-only humor. Campfire Comedy gathers together a rogue's gallery of laugh generators, including touring comics and native talent from the Chicagoland area.
Billed as an interactive drinking game, the ad-libbed proceedings of The Bar Show govern quaffs more effectively than paying a friend to throw pinches of salt into your mouth. For fans of standup, the Raw Talent Showcase gives up-and-comers a chance in the spotlight, impressing audiences with fresh material. Those looking to hone their own comedic chops can enroll in one of the Shrine's classes. Adult Level 1 Improv teaches beginners the fundamentals of improv, and Adult Standup allows pupils to improve comic basics such as timing, stage presence, and teaching a bow tie how to perform tricks.
