Best Comedy & Stand-up This Weekend

in Chicago

Franco Escamilla at Rosemont Theater

Franco Escamilla

Mexican star comedian Franco Escamilla heads out on engagements across the States! The portly, bespectacled funnyman is known for his performing troupe La Diablo Squad, and adds a musical influence into his shows, taking his guitar on stage regularly. Also a huge digital trend-setter, he is also known for his comedy radio shows, which has helped build a massive worldwide fanbase in the process. His sarcastic humor and charm make him one of the regions' most well-liked satirists.

Drunk Shakespeare at The Lion Theatre

Drunk Shakespeare

Take a journey to a mysterious hidden venue where mayhem awaits! Enter through a secret door and discover a glam cocktail bar and library where the infamous Drunk Shakespeare Society are ready to perform! But the main event really begins when one actor takes to the stage after at least five shots of whiskey and attempts to perform an entire play by William Shakespeare. No two shows are the same, four sober actors must try and keep the script going whilst one actor tackles the script through blurred vision and slurred words.

Marlon Wayans at Genesee Theater

Marlon Wayans

Actor, Producer, Comedian, Writer and Film Director! The multi-talented Marlon Wayans is back on stage with his standup comedy. Wayans is selling out nationwide and adding shows every weekend. Your cheeks are bound to hurt from laughing too much, take this as a warning! The comedian that keeps on giving, you just can't turn down the opportunity to see him.

T.J. Miller at Chicago Improv

T.J. Miller

Also known as Erlich Bachman in HBO sitcom Silicon Valley and Wade Wilson's wise-cracking friend in Deadpool, Miller is an accomplished comedian and actor. Known for his deadpan zingers and semi-stoner persona, he's not afraid of controversy (that Uber ride, and the gig in Puerto Rica), often stirring the pot with absurdist observational standup act for over 10 years. In addition, he has also lent his raspy voice to animated hits How To Train Your Dragon 1 and 2 and Big Hero 6.
