I just wanted to clarify our advanced placement policy, because I've been getting a lot of questions. If you've completed a year-long program at any other Chicago-based training center (Second City, iO, Annoyance), then you qualify for advanced placement into our Level 202 class. If you've graduated from two of these programs, you have the option to start our program at Level 303.

Our annual ensemble auditions are coming up at the end of August. Taking a class is a great way to immerse yourself in the ComedySportz approach to improv before these auditions.

We still have some space in our Level 101 class that meets on Saturdays at 12pm and all of our Level 202 and 404 classes. All other classes are SOLD OUT!

The ComedySportz Training Center has outgrown our space, and we've moved to a great new location! All classes next term meet at Bughouse Theater, which is located at 2054 W. Irving Park. This location has central air conditioning. Street parking is available, and it is easily accessible via public transportation.

Next term starts this week. There's still time to register. Contact us ASAP!
