      Great night, great venue, great laughs. I went to limelight last night and enjoyed the hell out of myself. The content was awesome. Got a cocktail that was good, and the venue itself was great. Something about the decor made me feel cozy. Will be back.

      I've attended a few comedy shows at Lincoln Lodge with my lovely wife over the last few years, and it's always a fine time.

      Last weekend we went to a show with a public transportation theme. Some of the comedic talent had to stretch a bit to include trains and buses into their routines, so though the performances were uneven it still was a good variety show. You can get a drink from the bar, and during this program you could also get a free beer if you answered a quiz question!

      The brown comedy show was late to start but the one hour plus show was totally worth the money. For $15 bucks/ ticket,5 different comedians performed and was throughly entertaining. Space is small but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The drinks were pretty good too, we got the premade old fashioned and I was quite buzzed with my one drink.

      Incredible, inclusive atmosphere and an amazing staff! The bar has a great selection of alcoholic and NA drinks that are served promptly so you don't miss your show!

      Staff helped seat folks to make sure everyone was situated and no space was wasted in this intimate venue.

      I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the decor - it's giving 70s Midwest party uncle and I loved it. I felt like my Uncle Mike was going to walk out, hand me a Stroh's, and say it's fine to drink in the house because he won't tell my parents.

      There is one single bathroom covered in clowns so if you have a phobia like the main character in Zombieland, be on guard!

      First comedy show since moving to Chicago! Loved the atmosphere and laughed almost the whole time. Got a cosmo at the bar and it was solid too. Will be back once I've tried more places too!

      Have been here twice now. Very intimate and both times have been a great experience. We liked it so much the first time we brought friends the next time! We liked the drinks that we got from the bar. Very quick service and good quality. All the staff we interacted with was so great!

      I visited this venue to see the comedy show, divorce Diaries. The venue is cute.. as we maneuvered our way through we happened upon the full bar which is in the front of the venue. There are a few tables and chairs and a television. It seems like a really cool place to just stop in for a drink or two. It wasn't very crowded when we were there so it gave off a very intimate vibe. The theater we were in was also very intimate. The two employees I encountered we're very nice and friendly and welcoming. The show itself was something different.. after a rough start, it ended up being a good show. I would definitely be interested in seeing what else is being held here. I also love that it's in Logan Square which is such a fun area. The parking sucks so I definitely would suggest public transportation or taking a ride share.

      I brought some friends to The Limelight show with 5 random comedians. I have to say Tight Five Productions knows how to put on a show for seventy five minutes ! The vodka sodas were overflowing and everyone enjoyed themselves immensely. The bartender even helped me trick my friends into thinking they were drinking doubles of vodka sodas ! Thanks for the tray with waters and limes! We totally got them!

      My crew and I couldn't stop laughing. Lele Mason and Tyler Horvath were the favorites!!

      I highly recommend checking out this venue. It's a great intimate setting with classic theater vibes. I can't wait to come back!

      Pro Tip: We stopped at Chef Zubair's Wazwan for a quick dinner before the show!

      Also buy a trucker hat I regret not buying one!!! They have a quota to uphold.

      We had such a fun night. The space is welcoming, friendly and fun. Great cocktails and the show was beyond my expectations funny and smart. Can't wait to bring more friends for a fun night out.

      This is one of my favorite places to see comedy in the city! The bar has a cozy atmosphere with very friendly, personable service (they're all comedians, which tracks), and the shows are all very unique! One night you'll see drag standup, another you'll see comedy poetry, comedy PowerPoint presentations, a show featuring all lesbians--and that's just the tip of the iceberg. This place has programming that makes me excited to come on any given night to enjoy. Plus, I feel great knowing my ticket sales go directly to the performers who make my evenings so fun. If you're somehow NOT enjoying the show, try the Liz Trussfall. It'll help!
