Description
Formerly called the New York Improv when it opened in 1963, this club showcased legends such as Bill Cosby, Andy Kaufman and Robin Williams during its first stint. After being closed for years, former collaborators opened this basement joint a few blocks from the original, and they showcase TV faces and other regulars from the club circuit. Shows: Mon–Thur, Sun 9pm; Fri, Sat 9pm, 11pm. Friday and Saturday the venue is also home to Chicago City Limits (212-888-5233, chicagocitylimits.com), which moved here in 1979; the group’s classic Second City format of topical sketches, songs and audience-inspired improv is popular with tourists and students.
