Here’s a recent review found on Yelp. Pimprov has made someone very, very happy…
BYOB!!!!
I went in to see PIMPROV! I enjoyed it, for $15.00- it was a great way to do something different than a bar/club scene on a friday night… I laughed throughout the whole night! It was very cute!
It is an intimate setting, so please be on time! If you’re late- you’re taking a chance of being called out…
Come see what all the fuss is about!
Pimprov, Friday nights @ 10:30
CIC is slowly building its reputation on Yelp.com! A few of the reviews are not as favorable as we might hope, but hey, that’s the nature of theater — especially improv! Consistency can be hard to come by. Still, our star ranking is growing. Here’s our latest good review, for the show “Bad Review,” which you can see at the Chemically Imbalanced Theater ever Sunday at 8pm.
“Saw the Bad Review tonight lampooning the review of Soldiers: The Desert Stand which apparently is a nihilistic rant on the Iraq war with stock characters, to paraphrase Bill Williams from the Chicago Reader. It was hilarious. It’s great that this troupe had the balls, timing and energy to pull it all together. I really enjoyed myself.“
Thanks, Joshua from Yelp!

“I want to see it. I’ve been to Chemically Imbalanced Comedy’s showcase. It’s a nice little venue.”- Carrie M.
“I love that play! I have seen it as well as read it! Hillarious! She even has the recipe for the cheeseball in her new book ‘I Like You, Hospitality Under the Influence.’”- Jenn H.
“I saw it in the fall and it was very funny indeed.”- Robert S.
“Went with a group of gals and we all thought it was hilarious- totally recommend it!” -Photocour t.
Here is what some Yelp’ers had to say about our Friday Showcase this weekend:
Dana, Chicago, IL:
Positives: BYOB; the third improv group (especially the woman with the short dark hair!)
I thought that the third group was really funny! The ice-fishing, the smoking ban, and the closeted lesbian bits were hilarious. I would have enjoyed to see them perform for the entire show.
I liked the set-up of the theater, which is small and intimate — without making you feel that you are on top of the performers.

Chemically Imbalanced Comedy is definitely comedy off kilter. The Friday Night comedy showcase was a fun barrel of laughs where I’ll never think of Johnsonville bratwursts and my fingers the same way again. The showcase displays the talents of three comedy improv talents for $10 (our tickets were comp’ed thanks to Angela M. a Yelper and Director of Chemically Imbalanced Comedy). It’s a great bargain for a chance to see a number of different comedy troupes with different styles.
The theater is small and intimate which makes the show experience more personal. The staff was great and completely laid back and cool when talking to the audience and giving the particulars about BYOB and the bathrooms. The BYOB makes it even more fun when you see people coming in with six packs and wine bottles with plastic cups. That’s my kind of beverage service. I liked the comedy showcase and the theater alot. They also had other show offerings that looked funny and worth a look. I’ll definitely be back to see Book of Liz and Bad Review.

A lot of fun for $10 a ticket. We saw three improv groups and all got us chuckling a bit. I have to say it was definitely a work in progress, but made all the more fun because it is BYOB. There was some definite creativity in the show and the theatre itself is a very intimate casual atmosphere.
