- $5 First Fridays Stand Up Comedy Shows at Chicago's best venue!The World Famous Laugh Factory, Chicago, IL
The 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).

Hey all! Check out the new promo video I made for this league! It'll show you how much fun it is and will make you want to sign up right away :) https://youtu.be/GcAlp9lR_QE
We all know Family Feud! The best game show ever right!? I came up with an amazing way to play bar trivia like the Family Feud game show that anyone can play and be good at! You don't have to know lots of random facts to enjoy or win this trivia. This league is a super fun way to meet new people, have some mid-week drinks and get your think on! We take over an entire bar with 24 teams too :) This league ALWAYS fills up so the RSVP # will not reflect the actual size.
You can register online by yourself or with friends for only $35! We'll then put you on a coed team of 6 thinkers around your age for the season and email you a bunch of info to know for the season. Or sign up your own team of up to 6 people for just $170!

LEAGUE DETAILS:
First Games: Thursday, May 9th
Final Games: Thursday, June 6th
Start/End Time: 7:00 - 9:00 pm
Location: The River Kitchen & Bar (2909 N Sheffield Ave)HOW WE PLAY:
Each night there are 2 rounds of 5 questions. The trivia works in reverse of how traditional Family Feud scoring goes. Teams are given the survey question that people were asked and then you have to turn in only one answer. BUT you get the MOST points for guessing the lowest answer on the list (the one that only a couple people said) and LESS points for guessing the popular answers! So it's a battle between making sure your answer is on the on the list of answers given but as far on the bottom of that list as possible. It's THE BEST kind of trivia ever.We give out really awesome prizes too!! NIGHTLY PRIZES FOR THE TOP 8 TEAMS!!! PLUS INCREDIBLE OVERALL LEAGUE PRIZES!!!
----------------------------
League Fees: Only $35 per person for the entire 5-week season or $170 to register a full team of up to 6 people.
