Laugh Out Loud Theater sprays the suburban fringes of Chicago with a thick foam of world-class improv comedy. An extensive, experienced cast brings a highly interactive, audience-assisted experience to the intimate Schaumburg stage, drawing on hive-mind suggestions to kick off its inevitably LOL-worthy sketches. In A Holiday Special: An Improvised Comedy Play, The Shelter Comedy troupe delves into the sweet absurdity of Yuletide dysfunction, stuffing mouth-stockings with guffaws in an unscripted one-act play inspired by horrible holiday stories. The Ha-Ha Holiday showcase puts LOL improvisers on the spot during quick-witted Christmas tableaus and games, warbled odes to disappointing presents, and cunning displays of Santa’s psychic powers. Both shows rely heavily on audience participation, and LOL’s indefatigable ad-libbers make it a point to invite willing audience members up on stage to help them achieve exponential levels of funny.

Laugh Out Loud Theater has a full kitchen and bar—and there is no drink minimum—so you can fill your gut until it easily busts with each new course during the night’s improvised feast of tomfoolery. Well-suited for date nights, group outings, or a way-funnier-than-usual family-bonding experience, Laugh Out Loud’s improv comedy will inspire even the most nonspontaneous audience members to put down their cue cards and bust out a few jokes of their own.
