Came here solo for the Troy Bond show. I appreciate the staff putting me at the aisle seat. I use bathroom frequently and since I was by myself made it less awkward when groups came in. It is a cozy venue and the seating is snug. Come early for better seats. There were two girls that came later and kept hassling the staff and waitress Brit for "better" seats. They came later in the night expecting seats and trying to sit in their "regular" seats in a SOLD OUT show. The staff and Brit were so nice and polite. Idk how they could say the same thing multiple times and keep their composure. It became distracting since anytime they would see a staff member they would ask them the same question. Its not until the first act was done that the staff thought of them and told them they can find another seat since there was no shows for the main act. They finally moved and was able to enjoy the show. I recommend the personal pizza and the $15 moscow mule they had. The tables are tiny so it makes it weird if you are eating and others so close next to you are not part of your group lol. It was pricy but was good. Drinks are pricey here so come prepared.

Caught Natasha Pearl Hansen's show on 1/16/24, and she had us in stitches – absolutely hilarious! Exceptional service, it was Dry January and they were out of non-alcoholic beer, but water was a refreshing choice. 👏 The first two acts were not very good, but the MC (who was funnier than the first 2 acts) did an exceptional job of getting the energy in the room ready for Natasha.

Cool spot but I didn't love the 2 item purchase minimum. Maybe this is normal in Chicago and I wasn't aware. The service was fast and the comedy was pretty decent. The bit about being married and not getting laid was used by 3 out of 4 of the comedians.

Came for their Tuesday locals show. Cool opportunity to see up and coming comedians. They have a 2 order minimum but that includes non alcoholic beverages or food in case you're not a drinker. My mocktail was yummy! It's very cozy and warm inside.

Saw Steph Tolev. She was great, opener was great. Cool and historic place for comedy. 2 drink or food item minimum, which is standard. Decent drink menu, but pricey as to be expected. You could smell the history, I think that's what it was. Great vibe, great time. Recommend.

Love the atmosphere! Wait staff is quick and friendly. Always a good show with great lineups. Just a tip: If you have tickets at will call, just get in the line and they will have a list to check you in.

Beautiful intimate venue. I went to see Tina Friml and I loved it. There's a minimum of 2 menu items purchase per person; the drinks are small but strong so they're very much worth it. There's parking just beside the place($14 through SpotHero). I recommend arriving around 6:30pm to get a good seat. I would definitely visit again.

Great intimate comedy spot. Tickets are affordable but note that there is a two drink minimum for the shows. If someone you know is coming to Zanies, don’t wait to get a ticket!

The show we saw was fantastic, hilarious and a wonderful night out! The seating process was a little strange, for example, we were planning to order food but then were seated in an area without a table or surface, so that didn’t happen. The servers are constantly running about (we did go to a sold out show) so getting our first of our 2 drink minimum orders in took longer than anticipated, too. That said, our server was sweet and as attentive as she was able to be.
