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. Im 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. Im thankful for all of my friends and family for coming out. I love you for that. Th thanks once again Newport Theater!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I wish I could give it zero stars. It was absolutely the worst show Ive 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!
