RED ROOM Comedy Club is an intimate 50-seat stand-up room on Chicago's far North Side, on North Western Avenue between Rogers Park and Evanston. The club leans into a vintage, Goodfellas-set aesthetic — round tables, booth seating and a full bar — and books national headliners alongside the city's best local comics and emerging acts. The house RED ROOM COMEDY showcase runs every Saturday night with a headliner, four or five featured comics and a host; a stand-up open mic takes over Tuesdays, where the best set of the night wins a spot on that Saturday's showcase. The room also programs a regular Spanish-language stand-up track (PEDRO GONZALEZ, CAMPEONAS, the monthly MICROFONO ABIERTO mic) and a monthly comedy writing room. 21+, two-drink minimum, with free street parking and limited parking behind the club.
