The Annoyance Theatre is a Chicago comedy institution at 851 W Belmont Ave in Lakeview, known for fearless improv, sketch, and original musicals. Founded in 1987 by director Mick Napier, the venue launched cult favorites like Co-Ed Prison Sluts, Splatter Theater, and The Real Live Brady Bunch, and remains a creative home for artists such as Susan Messing and rising ensembles.
Inside, two intimate stages and a full bar set the tone for loose, inventive nights where anything can happen. Expect late-night runs, experimental premieres, and fast-turnover comedy sets that showcase Chicago’s sharpest writers and performers. The training center and guest workshops keep the pipeline fresh, and the sightlines and small-room energy put you close to every laugh.
Steps from the Belmont Red, Brown, and Purple Line stop, The Annoyance makes pre-show dining and post-show drinks easy in the heart of Lakeview. From Halloween blood-splatter traditions to smart, character-driven improv, it is a must for fans of bold live comedy.
