Theater
When you think about Chicago you think Improv Comedy. And when Chicago improvisers think improv, they think The Playground Theater.
The Playground is the Chicago Improvisers improv theater. This 100% donation-based, performer-run comedy club features the best in Chicago improv, sketch comedy, and more. With shows 7 nights a week, The Playground is the perfect place to start your night with friends and a laugh for free!
Interested in trying improv but don't know where to start? Come to The Mixer! It's one part workshop, one part jam, and a whole lot of fun. Every Monday at 8pm, you'll get to play with new people and learn from some of Chicago's best performers. It's different every week, open to all experience levels, and - like everything at The PG - it's free!
Accessibility: The Playground is on the second floor of a shared building above My Buddy's restaurant and bar, up one flight of stairs. Contact The Playground to inquire about virtual performances.
