Under The Gun Theater

Best time. .in a long time

We loved the inprov show Dear James Franco!! The cast was hilarious and kept us laughing the whole show! We decided to stay for the next show the first was so good :)

This theater is located on the second floor of The Under Ground Lounge. It is a small intimate theater. You can purchase tickets online or at the box office. I purchased my tickets online and then still had to stand in line to get a paper ticket. The theater has a bar in the back. I think all seats have a pretty good view. I saw a Swarm of Spoilers A Recapitaiton of The Game of Thrones.

Tonight was something new for me. I had a Film Screening for my Short Film and so many people came that there was no where to sit. I'm thankful for the staff that was very nice and attentive to us. They was patient with us at the end of the show and I thank you for that. I'm thankful for all of my friends and family for coming out. I love you for that. Th thanks once again Newport Theater!

Awesome shows and a fully-stacked bar. Definitely my new favorite theater in Chicago!

went to see a show. we bought the groupon and made the mistake of not calling in advance to reserve our tickets. we had to wait til show time to see if we could get in. other than that, the show was great. we saw comedy against humanity. it was extremely funny and great crowd participation. we got sat front row, it was a little cramped. I will defiantly see another show there again.

Wonderful theatre in Wrigleyville offering some really funny shows. Improv, sketch, music, and what they do best, pop-culture based comedies and parodies. Not a bad seat in the house, and you can get up and go to the bar in the back and not miss any of the show. Fantastic place.

It was awesome!! Really funny improvisational comedy. Interactive show with funny theme and fun music. Went here for my girlfriend's birthday. It was hilarious and we were laughing the whole time.

I had difficulty finding. It is less than a block from Clark Street.

A true diamond in the rough in an otherwise culturally desolate Wrigleyville neighborhood! I have attended several performances at The Newport Theater, formerly known as Under the Gun Theater, and have yet to walk away disappointed. The space itself is very intimate and the close proximity between performers and audience makes for an engaging experience. Be prepared to be involved in the show! It is, and has been, quite simply one of the better curated indie spaces in the city for underground comedy and variety productions.

I wish I could give it zero stars. It was absolutely the worst show I've ever seen. Such a complete waste of time and money. I wish I could get a refund. we went with a group of 8- and every single one of us hated it!

I've been to countless shows here - I've even filmed a performance here - and I couldn't love this place and it's awesome people more! Check out the online shows they're a part of and their cocktail sales during shutdown - their bartenders are absolute wizards with both boozy and non-boozy cocktails!

This is one of my new favorite places to see comedy in Chicago!

Formerly known as the Under the Gun Theater, the Newport Theater is a small performance space that's a real treasure! In a departure from Chicago's storefront theater tradition, it's inside the Links Hall building on the second floor. You may have trouble finding it, but it's worth the effort. They have a terrific schedule of fresh, entertaining shows.
