Yes, it’s not-so-coincidentally located about a block from Second City, but don’t be too quick to assume you’ll get sloppy seconds at Zanies. This comedy club holds its own, bringing in national headliners (Ari Shaffir, formerly of Comedy Central’s This is Not Happening, has appeared there), plus theme nights dedicated to female or queer comedians mix things up. Tickets generally run around $25 (plus two-item purchase requirement), but check sites like Groupon and Goldstar for half-off specials.
