If you noticed your son or daughter was the biggest ham on stage at their school holiday pageant, you should consider taking your budding Del Close to ComedySportz's childrens show on Chicago's North Side.

ComedySportz4Kidz is a 50 minute performance where children not only get to see some funny improv acting in action, but they might also get to be a part of the show. For those of you not familiar with improv theatre, the actors on stage will ask for audience suggestions to drive the rest of the show. At ComedySportz4Kidz, the games and participation requests are geared with the 9 and under crowd in mind, and several kids get to jump on stage and try out their comedy chops. Tickets cost about the same as a trip to your local cineplex, and I guarantee your children will have a lot more fun participating in ComedySportz4Kidz than sitting through some animated Hollywood retread.
