About

100 PROOF COMEDY:

100 Proof Comedy offers a hilarious cure for a weekend hangover every Monday night at the ComedySportz Theatre in Chicago. The show’s talented jokesters pack plenty of laughs and libations into an hour and a half of standup as they take over one of the city’s most beloved improv theaters. Audience members can stick around to continue the hilarity with one of best open mics in the Windy City, The Chaser, which offers a chance to see unknown talent before they hit the prime time. Ticket buyers are encouraged to take advantage of the full-service bar during this booze-friendly show, but it won’t take many drinks to have a blast at this side-splitting extravaganza. With an intoxicating blend of familiar faces, rising stars, and up-and-comers, 100 Proof Comedy stirs up the perfect comedy cocktail.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Since 1984, ComedySportz has been a premier destination for family-friendly comedy and improvisational fun in the heart of Chicago. It’s also provided creative outlets and improv training for countless area comedians, including notables like Jason Sudeikis, Wayne Brady, Nick Swardson, Jessica Williams, and Dan Harmon. In early 2013 ComedySportz expanded on its improv traditions by adding the 100 Proof Comedy show to their weekly calendar. The show and its open mic afterparty The Chaser have become a Chicago standup institution, earning glowing reviews from the Chicago Reader, Centerstagechicago.com, and Chicagocomedy.com. Top-tier talent is always on hand at 100 Proof Comedy on any given Monday, including comedians who have appeared on HBO, Comedy Central, Last Comic Standing, and The TBS Just for Laughs Festival.

    Bill Santiago Does Witty and Funny!

    by Emkaka on 10/31/13The ComedySportz Theatre - Chicago

    I have seen a few YouTube videos of Bill Santiago, but seeing him live was a whole other experience. Bill's jokes range from light to semi risky (especially what regards his girlfriend) but there is an underlying tone of wittiness and self-proclaimed yet very apparent love for words. His jokes stem from being observant and seeing the world from a dual perspective of a bilingual and bicultural person that he is. The time spent with Bill is time that provokes not only great laughter, but also reflection upon the changing makeup of our society that is becoming more and more open to embracing the Spanish language and culture and, in the process, lending itself to a landmine of humor possibilities. Bill opens our eyes to the comicality of this greatly important phenomenon in which he sees himself as a participant.
