Chicago City Limits has been performing it's unique style of comedy and
improvisation for the past 16 years. The group was founded in Chicago by
George Todisco and actors participating in the workshop program at The
Second City. In 1979, Chicago City limits relocated to New York. The
company performed regularly at Catch A Rising Star, The Improvisation, The
Duplex and other clubs around town. It established it's own theatre in the
summer of 1980 and began a continuos run of over 5000 performances. Of all
New York productions, only "The Fantastiks" has been running longer. In
addition, the Chicago City Limits National Touring Company performs at
colleges, corporate events, and regional theatres throughout the country.
The group has appeared at such diverse venues as Lincoln Center, The
Smithsonian Institution, and the "Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon."
