    Moved from NYC. My husband and I love comedy, we hadn't found a spot that was as good as the ones we used to go to in NYC. Zanies is awesome! TIP: free on Tuesdays if you live in the neighborhood!

    Great selection of comedians with different styles. Make sure to arrive early, as the place packs up well before shows start. Also, don't forget the two drink minimum per person!

    Get there early before any show; drinks: $5 soda/call drink; $8.50 cocktail; food seemed reasonably priced, although didn't have any ($4-5.50 pretzels/nacho cheese); quaint venue

    Zanies is a stalwart of the Chicago comedy scene, giving you the best local and national stand-ups the world has to offer since 1978. Totally worth the 2-drink minimum. TW ♥'s Zanies! Read more

    Drinks are strong but tasty. The audience is packed in like sardines, so try to arrive early for a close seat.

    Remember the olden days when comedy clubs with a two-drink minimum policy ruled? That era is long gone, but this venerable laugh factory has managed to hang on. Read more
