Chicago Comedy Shows This Weekend
Looking for something fun to do in Chicago this weekend? Get ready for top-tier stand-up comedy shows and the best comedians performing live in Chicago.
Comedy shows this weekend at The Comedy Bar Chicago run Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Our Friday and Saturday weekend lineups feature touring headliners and rotating Chicago favorites, with shows starting at 7:00 pm and a second seating at 9:00 pm or 9:15 pm when the early show sells out. Sunday closes the weekend with Chicago's Best Comedy Show.
Tables fill up fast for weekend stand-up, so booking ahead is recommended — especially for groups, date nights, or bachelorette parties. We're at 162 E Superior in River North, two blocks off the Magnificent Mile, with deep-dish pizza from Gino's East and signature weekend cocktails served at your table throughout the show.

CHICAGO WEEKEND COMEDY SHOWS
Weekend comedy shows in Chicago are our biggest nights at The Comedy Bar. Friday and Saturday typically sell out the early 7:00 pm show plus a second show at 9:00 pm or 9:15 pm, and Sunday wraps the weekend with Chicago's Best Comedy Show.
Reservations are strongly recommended for parties of 4 or more — weekends draw a mix of date nights, birthday groups, bachelorette parties, and tourists in town for the Magnificent Mile. The full Gino's East dinner menu and our weekend signature cocktails are served at your table the entire night, with no drink minimums.
Planning Your Weekend Comedy Night in Chicago
For your weekend comedy night out, The Comedy Bar is on the third floor of Gino's East at 162 E Superior in River North — two blocks east of the Magnificent Mile and walkable from most downtown hotels.
Capacity is 140 guests across cocktail tables and the main floor. Weekend reservations are strongly recommended; we routinely sell out Friday and Saturday early shows.
Friday hours run 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm, Saturday 6:00 pm to 1:00 am — the rooftop patio is open in season for pre-show drinks. Closest parking is the Olympia Centre garage on Chicago Avenue.
Weekend dining is part of the show — our exclusive weekend signature cocktails plus the full Gino's East deep-dish menu come right to your table. It's the only stand-up comedy spot in Chicago where the pizza is just as famous as the lineup. View the full menu →
