The Chicago comedy calendar for October 2026 lists 137 upcoming shows across the metro area, placing Wakim’s Rosemont and Chicago dates alongside appearances by Bill Burr at The Chicago Theatre on September 30, October 2, and October 3, 2026, and Kate McKinnon at Cahn Auditorium in Evanston.

Routing Patterns And Ticketing Themes
The October 2026 routing focuses on the Midwest, with a single West Coast cluster built around San Francisco and Vancouver. Across the month, Wakim plays club-scale rooms including Zanies Rosemont, Zanies Chicago, Cobb’s Comedy Club, Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle, and The Comedy Attic, along with other venues such as Comedy Club on State in Madison, The Port Comedy Club in Baltimore, and the Biltmore Cabaret in Vancouver. The Bloomington Netflix taping functions as the anchor, and the surrounding dates read as a build toward that milestone.
Google’s AI Overview and several aggregators surface only part of this schedule, which can hide some Midwest stops. Purchase paths also vary by market: Zanies Rosemont sells through Etix.com, zanies.com, or the box office, Chicago dates run through Ticketmaster, Bloomington tickets now sit on resale platforms, and San Francisco tickets mix third-party resale options with primary inventory from Cobb’s and Live Nation/Ticketmaster.
Practical Reader Guidance By Region
Midwest audiences have the broadest range of options. The Rosemont and Chicago runs span October 2–6, creating five consecutive nights across two Zanies locations. Rosemont offers a suburban setting with easier parking, while Chicago proper trades that for stronger transit access and higher surrounding costs.
Bloomington, Indiana sits roughly 190 miles south of Chicago, about a 3.5 to 4 hour drive via I-65 S through Indianapolis, which makes the Netflix taping a realistic day trip or overnight from Chicago or Indianapolis. Royal Oak on October 18 stands as the most geographically isolated Midwest date, positioned between the Illinois cluster and the Indiana taping.
San Francisco hosts three Cobb’s Comedy Club shows on October 9–10, 2026: October 9 at 7:00 PM, and October 10 at 7:00 PM and 9:15 PM. Cobb’s seats about 400 and can expand to 770 for standing or private events, while maintaining a club-style feel. Face-value tickets are best sourced from Cobb’s official site, and resale listings for October 9 currently start around $38 before fees for General Admission Tables, or about $43 with fees.
Before purchasing, consider the following:
- Zanies Rosemont is 21+ and Will Call only, so the ticket purchaser’s driver’s license and a valid photo ID for each guest are required at the door.
- Zanies Rosemont enforces a two-item minimum per person and does not honor seats bought from resale sites such as StubHub, Vivid Seats, or SeatGeek when the purchase is not tied to Etix.com or zanies.com.
- Bloomington shows at The Comedy Attic list around $93 per ticket, while many resale offers start higher, at about $113.75 all-in.
- For the Chicago Zanies dates, Ticketmaster serves as the verified purchase path through the links on this page.
- Comedy venues often open doors 30–60 minutes before showtime, though some open as early as two hours before, and others only 15 minutes before late shows.
