Best Comedy & Stand-up This Spring

in Chicago

Matt Mathews at The Chicago Theatre

Matt Mathews

You may know him from his hilarious farm chore videos on Tik Tok or his series 'Confessions with Matt', but here's your chance to see him live and in person as Matt Mathews steps off the farm and onto the stage on his new tour! Join Matt for a brand new show where he'll be sharing his relatable humor, finding the laughs in his personal stories, including growing up Gay in the South and his renowned career as a boudoir photographer.

Martin Lawrence at Credit Union 1 Arena

Martin Lawrence

Martin Lawrence, the original Bad Boy of comedy, is gearing up for the release of his long-awaited sequel 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die' with Will Smith, set for general release in summer 2024. But the actor/comedian/singer isn't resting on his laurels until that happy day, as he's hitting the road this year for the 'Y'all Know What It Is! Tour,' his first tour in 8 years. Outspoken on subjects such as relationships, family, and vocal opposition to police brutality, Lawrence's raw style shows no sign of mellowing as we head into the new year. Be warned - this comic takes no prisoners at his shows!

Katt Williams at United Center

Katt Williams

Williams' sharply tuned mind is unafraid to tackle any topic, no matter how awkward it may seem. From first taking to the stage as a teenager with his thought-provoking (and hilarious) social commentary, William now boasts over 20 years in the 'biz. Known for covering topics like the war on drugs, truth and lies and even the chicken wing shortage, in his brand new tour 'Dark' Matter', who knows what Williams' will joke about!
