I have been to Zanies in the city a long time ago, and now it was Rosemont's turn. As far as the comedian goes, you can't rate this place whether or not you liked the comedians. You can rate it on pricing, atmosphere, food, drinks, service, etc. I think the food/drinks are overpriced for what they are. The food selection is not great, and on top of ticket prices, you have to buy at least 2 items per person. I know other comedy clubs do this too, but I think it is stupid. Why should have to pay more on top of ticket prices? Anyways, it's more bar food/snack food than meals. The service was good (they come around throughout the show). Also the tables are tiny for having to get 2 items/person throughout the show. Again, typical of most comedy clubs I know. I like having a Comedy Club in the area, but I think it is pricey for what it is and the 2 item/person rule is dumb. read more

Dishonest club. There is a two drink minimum, which is "clearly" stated on the ticket you buy, but there is no mention of this mandatory add-on when you are looking at ticket price and considering attending an event here. For reference, a small bottle of water costs 5 bucks and you got to buy two of them per person. Drinks cost between $8 and $12. Show was great, but I am rating the venue, not the performer. Overpriced. Definition of suboptimal. Avoid. read more

Came here for my friends 21st.... it was cool we had a lot of fun and everyone was super excited because Sal from impractical jokers showed up! Which was an awesome surprise! Love this place! So much yes! read more

This was my first visit to this location and I went with a group of 10 for a bachelorette party. We had a nice table reserved in the back. You have to buy at least 2 drinks and they can be expensive. I got a bloody Mary for $9 and did not like it at all, no flavoring and all liquor. My second drink was a diet coke for $4 and I didn't even want it but hey, I had to get it. Martinis run up to $12. Bathrooms were clean and the whole place is pretty new. Our waitress was really nice as well. read more

Tone Bell was absolutely hysterical. I'm not a big comedy club person and was talked into going by my husband. This show exceeded my expectations. We were both laughing out loud throughout the entire show. I would highly recommend this as a date night event. read more

Went here for my boy friends birthday with friends.. Drinks were good, the comedians were funny! I had a wonderful time.. They give out free tickets!!! and who doesn't like getting free tickets !!! The staff was nice and polite! I loved it! read more

Visited zanies in the city many times it's nice, but out here it's hard to get to in a tourist dive place With associated high prices But my real complaint is their headliner Daniels,, jokes about autism and physical handicaps are always in bad taste. Management should've told him not to do them or found another act their judgment in chasing the dollars makes them as responsible as him the buying of two items generally is about $25, A bit excessive but for a tourist area I guess so read more

I enjoy going to comedy clubs. This place had some great drinks but you had to wait for a length of time before you got one. So, we'd order 2 at a time every time the waitress came by. The comedy was GREAT!! I really enjoyed the second comedian the most!! The whole place was laughing and having a good time! LOVED IT!! read more

Don't sit in the back left corner. The waitresses are going in and out of these doors to the backroom bringing drinks out and in all during the show. Plus their backroom is very noisy with loud music playing during the show!? Very distracting place to sit. Otherwise a pretty good show/place to go. Just don't let them sit you near these doors! Hard to believe they would let their staff play music during a comedy show!? read more

Had a great time here as a stop for my cousin's bachelorette party. The strawberry daiquiris are delicious! Many of the comedians were funny. The one host, or maybe owner, though was kind of rude and slightly racist with his jokes/ comments.. I like dry humor/ blunt jokes, but I think some people in the crowd were not too happy. Also, he did seem like he was drunk .. I will come back for sure, but I do think they need to be a little more cautious with some comments. They might offend someone. read more

Very good service with reasonable prices and pretty good acts. I recommend this laugh factory for a good start to your evening in Rosemont. And don't be afraid to ask them to validate your parking ticket. read more

This place is a lot smaller than I expected. The table I was seated at is tiny and the seats are real uncomfortable, aside from that I actually had a great time. Lots of fun comedians interacting with the crowd. Drinks are pricey $6 for a domestic bottle of beer but I guess they need to make their money especially with a two item minimum. I would still return if they booked a comedian I liked read more

My husband and I, along with 4 other friends, went to their opening night at this location last summer. I was very pleased with the show and we had to make reservations ahead of time, since it was a free show. Anyway, the club was full and more spacious then their Chicago location, where we used to go before. This location is better because it's also much closer to our house and we can make it to almost any show during the week or weekends. We've been Zanies fans for the past 3 years and their drinks are delicious, their food/snacks are quite good (no complains), their staff is always friendly (sometimes even funny), and we always, always had a great time laughing out loud... I guess, we pick our shows really well. No disappointments ever, and we are definitely returning customers..... If you have a great sense of humor, nothing will really bother you, unless it's obviously bad. It's a comedy club. Laugh 'till you drop and don't take offense about anything said! It's all meant to be funny in the end...... :-) P.S.... parking is sometimes chaotic because of all the restaurants, and the movie theatre is using the same parking lot as everybody else there.....but....the parking lot which is a huge garage with 6 floors (I think) or more..... is very spacious in my opinion. Don't complain about people rushing into the elevators...just take the stairs!... or go to the opposite side of the parking garage and use the elevators on that side... We love Zanies and we are happy with their new location. Bravo!!! read more

Going to Zanie's has become a birthday tradition for my fiancée and I, and the whole family as well! Never had a dull moment at St Charles or Rosemont. But I think it's time to add more food to the menu! See you soon and keep it up read more

Great service and even better show! We attended the April 2nd, 9:30pm show. The comedians were funny and showed variety in their material. I had a great time! Both comedians and the host engaged the audience in a few of their jokes which I thought was great and showed they actually were talented at what they do. Also a major plus is they gave us each free tickets to another show. I definitely will be returning for many more shows. Loved it! read more

Went to the New Years Eve celebration (2104) to the Zanies in Rosemont with four couples. We were disappointed with with all stand ups (thumbs down vote). The warm up guy was good but went down hill from FAST. The Star performer (headliner) was terrible Sasheer Zamata. Not even funny at all. Being on Saturday Night Live "Sasheer Zamata" we except a great performance. Boy, were we wrong. Being at New Years Eve celebration at Zanies in Rosemont Illinois was very disappoining with the three acts performed. We paid very high price tickets on that day. The best part of the evening was the balllons coming down from the ceiling. Plus, the Firewoks ouside. VERY BAD experinence at Zanies performer on that day. Just TERRIBLE! Awsome Four Some read more

First two presenters were great 5/27....last performer was outdated and needed better material, too dry...had to leave...waitress over charged us and the bouncer with dreads was very unprofessional, don't mess around with him...check your receipts!!! Customer lean six sigma improvment course needed. read more

Pretty funny...we go quite often, though, and some of the comedians do the same jokes :/

Always a great time, even if you don't know the names of the performers. Great comedy experience for anyone that likes to laugh out loud!!!

I like this location a lot! Great for parking, the staff is friendly, and the food/drinks are decent. Obviously who is performing will make or break the night but as far as Zanies is concerned they have my two thumbs up. read more

Great facility, not to mention it's at the heart of the Rosemont Entertainment District. Makes you feel like you're one with the comedian. Waitresses are kinda a hit or a miss at times, especially when the place is packed. read more

I've been to 3 Zanies locations (Old Town, Schaumburg, and most recently Rosemont) Every show was great and makes you wanna go to another one. Pat Tomasulo from WGN puts on a good show, I strongly recommend checking it out. read more

We went to a comedy event there last night. I have a specific disability that I called to ask for a specific table . Now mind you I never asked for front row but possible 2nd row middle left. I know it's a first come first serve but at the other Zanies locations I've never had an issue. However, when I arrived they had me 2nd row left against a wall. Not what I asked for nor what would work for me. Luckily my sister asked again and we were moved but the managers were not accommodating nor polite. I truly hope the comedy act we saw never performs there again. Because I won't be back. Prefer Chicago and Schaumburg locations. read more

I've been here twice, once to see Dwayne Perkins and last night to see Butch Bradley. Both shows were really funny. The seating is a little cramped, but that's ok. I am going to see Richard Lewis at the end of the month and looking forward to it. read more

The comedians were good but the staff was not. Skip Rosemont and go to zanies downtown or better yet Second City.

Hate having a minimum but love to laugh. Best place for stand up comedy. More expensive than I would like to pay for some average comedienes. We will be back. read more

Be sure to do your research on the headliner before you spend money on seeing an act here. After paying for four items (minimum!), $50 for tickets, and a service fee, just to hear Nick DiPaolo insult children, children with disabilities, adults with disabilities, obese people, anyone not from Boston, people dying from cancer, anyone who isn't white, any female who ever said "stop hitting me," people who drink water, half the audience, and, of course, gay people, I wished I'd donated my $100 to a good charity instead. Plus, half the guy's jokes were from the 80s. Who does jokes about Weekend at Bernie's?? read more

Saw Steve "Whineazzisi" sorry, Rannazzisi. Not that funny, my 6 year old talks more manly than this dude. That's very subjective, so let's stick to the rest of the customer experience. Slight odor, cheap alcohol. Towards the second drink they start watering it down. The guy who may run the joint with gray hair and a beard was actually the funniest, but does try to hock a CD while your walking out. I could do without the political references period. That's all I hear on tv, radio, and periodicals, I don't want to hear it from a comedian. read more

You can't talk with each other or even whisper or they ask you to leave. Don't feel that I did anything wrong but was having a good time with friends till they were rude with us. Then when they tell you to leave, they coming running at you and accuse you of running out on your bill! Will never go back. read more

We went to see Sebastian M. on Friday evening. The first time at that Zanie's. We bought an upgrade to better seating. We were in the front row, almost center and butted right up to the stage. It was awesome. The drink service was exceptional and the drinks were so good! The parking is free and you can get it validated at a restaurant in the complex or at Zanies. Getting in and out of the parking garage was a breeze. I recommend that you upgrade, it is worth it! read more

Zanies Rosemont was our choice for NYE celebration and overall, it was a good choice. We opted for the early show to avoid the midnight craziness and chaos of NYE. The show consisted of a couple of really good warm up acts but the headliner was terrible!! Sasheer Zamata was NOT funny & NOT witty. Her performance was nothing like her promotional skits. Instead of doing stand up comedy, she was on her political soap box and was more concerned about the plight of the 21st century black woman and how thin lipped white people are than actually providing ANY sort of comedy for the audience. I was going to vomit if I heard one more "Toby from Roots" reference!!!! Do yourself a favor... if you are planning to see Sasheer Zamata on any ticket, in any town on any night, just know that she has an agenda and it's not to make people laugh. People went out on NYE to enjoy themselves and instead people walked out in the middle of a show they paid for. What does she care....she made her money? read more

Comedians we pretty good- we had a lot of laughs, one got a bit weird and lost their mojo but regained the laughs in the end. The drinks were strong and the service was great. The only problem was the "security/bouncer" dude (22ish year old who we named Dexter- because I'm sure he's a serial killer) who stood off to the side with zero smile on his face and literally told us off multiple times for laughing too loud. WTF? We were into the comedy and this guy totally squashed it. He hovered around our table shushing us, making the whole experience a bit uncomfortable... Soooo weird. Honestly it kind of ruined the experience for us and seemed totally unnecessary. We were supporting the comedian, not heckling or anything. Get a sense of humor, dude. Management needs to let this guy go because I see he's been mentioned in multiple reviews. ZANIES, if you want repeat costumers, get rid of this loser- I really don't want to go back because of him. He made what could have been a great night into a lukewarm experience. read more

just went here with my friends on fri nite & we all had a great time! there were 8 of us & we were all able to sit together in a section by the front. there was the host, an opening comedian and the main guy. all 3 were pretty funny but he main guy was the best! although i cant remember his name he had me cryin laughin! the only beef i have with this place is that theres a 2 item minimum. im gonna drink anyway but i dont want someone makin me have 2 buy somethin. regardless, i still enjoyed myself & would def. come back! read more

The club was fabulous. We saw John Caponera and Rob Sherwood. The club was great. The show was fabulous. John Caponera was hilarious. We have been a fan for years but the live show was so much better. The opening act, Rob Sherwood was really funny also. Definitely the best part of our trip to Chicago. I saw some negative reviews of the club So happy we ignored them. Truly a wonderful evening. Recommend it to anyone. read more

If I could I would give this place 0 stars but that wasn't an option. I was here on November 18 to see Steve burton. When we arrived we waited to be seated and to our surprise we were given great seats! We noticed the table was marked reserved but didn't think anything of it. After about 10 minutes a tall blonde lady came up to us very rudely asking us for our ID. We weren't sure why but then we were told we had move. SHE WAS VERY UNPROFESSIONAl. I'm not sure who she thought she was talking to. Once we were moved to our final seats we were packed in. We ordered our food and once we received our food we were told that one of the things we ordered was out. This was after waiting over 30 minutes for our food that didn't even need to be cooked!!!!!! Very unorganized. Very disappointed. But Steve burton was a blast!!! Only good thing about it. read more

Really enjoyed World Series of Comedy last weekend. Very comfortable seating and great service.

We went here for a bday celebration & I will be the first to admit I was quite sceptical. . I had never been to a comedy club before and being a big fan of people like Joe Rogan & Russel Brand, I was sure it was going to fall flat. BUT! I had a good time :) Thumbs up for sure! read more

This is located in the same compound as Muvico in Rosemont. I actually would prefer coming to this Zanies location for one good reason, validated parking. Use the same garage as Muvico's but remember to enter the check point where it says Entertainment District. As for the venue, the decor looks pretty decent but I suggest adding more options in the food department. Snack mix, Hummus & Pita chips and Spring rolls? For $5-7 dollars, i'd rather get nachos or fries , maybe some guac and chips if they want to be ambitious. Either way, there is a 2 drink / food item minimum per person. I enjoyed the show as usual and scored 13 free tickets for next time. After the show , we checked out the new bowling alley and a few bars in the same entertainment district. If you don't live in the city and if you're looking for a less stressful commute and want to avoid paying $10-20 for parking, Zanies Rosemont is much better than their Chicago location. read more

I went to Zanies for the Tuesday Ten show. We were told to arrive around forty five minutes early to a hour. However, there is no need to arrive more than fifteen minutes early to the show, especially on weekdays. The two item minimum for each person is kind of a rip-off, just considering we got a small pizza for $12. Soft drinks are $4 each and chicken bites are $9 and they are small portions. The comedians though were super funny and we do plan to come back. The biggest disappointment was the obnoxious person in front of us. This person literally talked the whole time and she had to be talked to twice. She was talking loudly a lot before anyone said anything to her. I think if you have to be talked to once that you are disturbing everyone around you that you should be kicked out the next time. Then after being yelled at twice, she was talked loudly the rest of the show. The way the Tuesday Ten works is there are ten comedians for five to eight minutes each. We were really disappointed, because we missed a lot of the jokes due to this person talking super loud. read more
