Chicago City Limits, a high-energy creative improv comedy troupe – features “so vibrant (a) comedic crew that I’d be surprised if the energizer bunny could keep up.” (Show Business) The Record Journal agrees, “...It's easy to see how...fans get hooked on this troupe, attending shows time and again.” For those who witness the wacky off-the-cuff genius that has been the hallmark of the Chicago City Limits, the St. Petersburg Times warns: “Take deep breaths and stretch out your stomach muscles before you go see Chicago City Limits...you'll walk away holding your aching sides from laughing.” Chicago City Limits gets its inspiration from current headlines, pop culture, and the world at large. It’s a show in which no subject it sacred. Chicago City Limits performs quick-witted improvisations, created on-the-spot from suggestions called out by the audience, along with hilarious comedy sketches, songs and more. It’s no wonder the NY Post called it “The Funniest Show in Town.” Tickets for the performance are $34, with student discounts available, and may be purchased at the Performing Arts Ticket Office, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays.
