About us
Hello and Welcome to 20 and 30 Somethings Meetup!
We’re excited to have you join our vibrant community here in Chicago! Whether you’re new to the city, looking to make new friends, or just want to be more active, you’ve come to the right place.
Our group is all about getting together and having fun. We organize a wide variety of events throughout the year, from exploring the city's hidden gems, catching the latest shows, grabbing drinks at the coolest spots, and meeting new people. Chicago has so much to offer, and we aim to experience it all together.
One of the highlights of our group is our “Simply Social” coed recreational intramural leagues. These leagues are perfect for those looking to stay active, have fun, and make new friends and connections. We offer a diverse range of league options that play on various days of the week, all over the city, and throughout the year. Whether you’re into 16" softball, kickball, volleyball, bowling, trivia, etc, there’s something for everyone.
We also host a variety of fun social events! And we’re always on the lookout for new organizers to bring fresh ideas and plan exciting activities. If you have an idea for a fun event – whether it’s a casual hangout, a group outing, a trip, or a show – don’t hesitate to reach out to the group Organizer Ben (that's me!). I’ll help you figure out how to make it happen, plan out the details or simply allow you to post it if it’s ready to go.
We believe in making the most of what Chicago has to offer and building a strong, supportive community of 20 and 30 somethings who love to have fun and stay active.
We can’t wait to see you at our next event!

Join my indoor league teams solo or w/ friends! All skill levels are welcome
When everything fun heads indoors for the year in Chicago, stay active and social in our Simply Social intramural leagues! All skill levels are welcome and you can join by yourself or with friends and get placed on a coed team for the season.
Starting in early February, I've got lots of great 5-7 week leagues that I'd love to have you join! Some are actual sports, while others are more of a super fun activity to break up the work week.
All of them are amazing for meeting new people and having fun! There's no better way to build lasting relationships than during a season getting together with the same people week after week.
I'VE GOT INDOOR VOLLEYBALL, BOWLING, WHIRLYBALL, SINGLES SKEEBALL (FOR SINGLES!), DODGEBALL, FAMILY FEUD TRIVIA & INDOOR KICKBALL!

$5 First Fridays Stand Up Comedy Shows at Chicago's best venue!
The World Famous Laugh Factory, 3175 North Broadway Street, Chicago, IL, USThe Laugh Factory in Lakeview (Broadway & Belmont) is open for comedy and we all could use some laughs! We always get A LOT of people to attend these shows. Often times over 100 Meetup members!
If you attend by yourself or with friends and want to be seated in the Meetup group section, simply request this when you check in at the ticket booth! Then just say hi to those around you :)
Every First Friday of the month we get $5 TICKETS to their shows at 7:00, 9:15 & 11:30 pm. They're ALWAYS hilarious!
--------------------------------
Get your $5 tickets ASAP before the quantity they give us get sells out. And with our "laugh or get a refund" policy (that has never in 4 years been requested), I know you'll enjoy your MUCH NEEDED night out! This event is posted in lots of different Meetup groups, so the RSVP # won't show how many are actually attending.

*You can purchase tickets for several people and multiple shows this night through the link. No physical tickets will be issued. Your name will be on a list at the door and all tickets will be under the purchaser's name. Groups of up to 6 people can be sat together if arriving together.
Please Note: These shows are for ages 18+ w/ ID. If you show up after start time you will not be able to enter. There is a 2 drink minimum per person per show (non-alcoholic or alcoholic). Drinks are reasonably priced, and a comedy show is funnier with a few drinks, so this shouldn't be an issue with how cheap our tickets are :) Also, an 18% service fee (aka gratuity) will be applied to all drink tabs at payment to be given directly to service staff.
No refunds or exchanges but tickets can be transferred.
