Chicago is famous for legendary blues and jazz, which can be heard nightly in venues throughout the city. Of course, Chicago's music scene can also take an indie turn, or a hip hop spin, or electronic, or just plain rock n’ roll. Whatever is on your iPod is also in Chicago.

If you like to laugh, you've come to the right place. Our comedy scene is responsible for launching the careers of such famous performers as John Belushi, Steve Carrel, Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey and many others. From traditional stand-up to competitive improv, you can find it in Chicago.
