CHECK OUT THIS FRIDAY 12/12 LINEUP!

⭐️Soweto Bosia: An up-and-comer in the standup scene, Soweto has quickly gone from first-time open mic’er to booking showcases all over Chicago with his confident delivery and personal storytelling antics.

⭐️Jack Layden: A self-proclaimed “no-good rapscallion,” Jack brings a unique combination of charm and rueful self-deprecation to his standup.

⭐️Keith Hernandez: An improvisor and standup known for his crazy stories and incredible impressions, Keith always brings the laughs! He’s also a BABS Babe, one of our improv house team players— check him out!

⭐️Sean Nitschman: Sean spins his relatable stories of disappointment & depression into comedy gold with witty one liners and unexpected turns.

🌟 🌟Katie Meiners, Your Headliner: An energetic stand-up comic who performs in comedy clubs throughout the Midwest, Katie takes inspiration from iconic one-liner comedians as well as comic story-tellers, incorporating her love of jokes and her less than supervised childhood experiences into her act. Katie won the inaugural Chicago Comedy Championship and the Smoke Break Comedy Competition. When not on stage, you can find her in the woods or in a Ross.

No overpriced drinks. No two-drink minimum. Just you, your friends, your favorite snacks, and some of the best stand-up in the city.
