Our weekend comedy show round-up!

ComedySportz is celebrating the 100th performance in their new theater tonight at 8pm. Go for the laughs, stay for the champagne toast and gift bags at the end of the show.

Tonight at I.O. Theater- Go for the critically acclaimed Improvised Shakespeare at 8pm. Stay for the ridiculously funny men of Guy Friends premiering at midnight.

Spend Saturday day on the beach. (80 and sunny, right?) Spend Saturday night spitting water in the name of comedy. Don't Spit The Water challenges audience members to hold water in their mouths whilest comedians attempt to make them laugh. Sit in the front row if you need to cool off I guess. DSTW is at 10:00 at the Playground Theater.

Go to church this Sunday at Second City. Best Church of God, that is. A crazy talented cast writes and performs sermons, prayers, hymns and communion all in the name of the god of...satire? We love it. BCOG is at 10:30 in Donny's Skybox at The Second City.
