Walking in Chicago can feel stressful. Driving can feel chaotic, angry, and exhausting. Somehow, everyone feels miserable, and we’ve all decided that’s just “city life.” But what if it’s not?
Safe Streets: The Comedy Show is an “edu-comedy” revue blending sketch, improv, and satire to explore why getting around Chicago feels so bad — and why it doesn’t have to. From car crashes to congestion, jaywalking myths to “just one more lane” logic, this show takes on the systems behind our streets, not just the people stuck using them.

The show features fast-paced comedy sketches alongside a short, live on-stage interview with local leaders and advocates working on traffic safety and street design in Chicago.
Come laugh, learn, and join in on how we can make Chicago a better place for everyone.
