Why are Sara and Chad the Bird qualified to mildly educate through comedic infotainment?

Sara wrote for Mystery Science Theater 3000. She’s published four books, including “Real Artists Have Day Jobs (And Other Awesome Things They Don’t Teach You in School).”
A former talk radio host and producer, she’s been heard on BBC Radio, NPR, WTF with Marc Maron and other podcasts. TV credits include “Law & Order: SVU,” “Bill Nye Saves the World,” and more. She used to teach high school and holds an M.A. from Teachers College at Columbia University. Sara is the real deal!

Chad the Bird is, as Rob Dean of Neonsplatter.com puts it, “A mix of Bill Hicks, Kermit The Frog, David Byrne, and a a shot of Malört." He, along with his co-host, will be bringing that energy to every single show - come experience it yourself! Or, as Jill Hopkins of Vocalo Chicago says: “Here’s the thing about Chad the Bird, is that he is very timely with his topics and is also weirdly wise for a bird puppet from Southern California”

Two of Chicago's most hilarious entertainers, Sara and Chad the Bird are creating one-of-a-kind comedy

Organized by

The Lincoln Lodge

Known primarily for the nation’s longest running independent comedy show (The Lincoln Lodge) we also produce special events, help others organizations to raise money with comedy events and offer classes (Feminine Comique and Stand-Up Seminary) to encourage more community participation in stand-up comedy. We have been very successful at nurturing local talent and can point to a long line of alumni like Hannibal Burress, Kyle Kinane, T.J. Miller, Pete Holmes and Cameron Esposito who all got their start at The Lodge. Our reputation for professionalism, talent and integrity means organizations such as Just for Laughs and Comedy Central have invited us to collaborate with them.
