Malarkey Comedy is a new comedy company who's only mission is to make you laugh...hard. Not smirk. Not chuckle. Full-on, full-body, oh-no-are-people-looking-at-me laugh. No matter what.
Every week three Malarkey House Teams bring their energy, creativity and firepower to the Kingsbury stage. Each team has a different theme that will leave you laughing and wondering why this show was only $5 - it's a Wednesday, that's why. See you there.
Our newest recruits take to the stage every Thursday to experiment with new games and create new and exciting players for our Main Stage shows. Come catch them before their famous. A great start to the weekend, and a great deal.
A Bunch of Friggin' Cats is our resident house team. They present their original form each week, and it's the cat's pajamas. Grab a cheap beer and hang out with the cats. FREE admission if you were at Minor League earlier!
If you grew up in the 90s you KNOW DCOMs. From High School Musical to Smart House, Disney churned hundreds of them out - and we're here to create even more. Jump in our time machine and head back to the land of scrunchies and incredible problem-solving.
The OG. ComedySportz is the longest-running improv show in Chicago for a reason. We put two teams of all-star comedians in an improvised showdown of scenes, songs and games. Our Ref guides you through the entire show - and unlike real sports, you get to decide who wins. Perfect for all ages!
