Chicago City Limits

BIOGRAPHy

Chicago City Limits relocated from Chicago to New York City in 1980. Over 8,500 shows later, they continue to delight Off-Broadway audiences with our unique show, which combines audience-inspired improvisation with topical sketch comedy. Chicago City Limits offers dynamic, customized entertainment and training programs for business clients. Their critically-acclaimed comedy revue, Chicago City Limits Without A Net, is performed Wednesday through Saturday at our theater in midtown Manhattan; it’s an ideal destination for any group. Shows are highly interactive, as we use audience suggestions to create comedy scenes and songs on the spot. Chicago City Limits perform sprivate shows for companies and organizations either at their midtown Manhattan theater or offsite. Prior to the performance, they learn all about your group – key people, clients, issues, etc. – and weave those details into totally customized show. Don’t miss the chance to see this great, improvisatonal troupe in the flesh.
