Join us for some laughs with comedic icons, as well as stand-up comics from our own backyard, Brooklyn and beyond!
SOPAC favorite Liz Glazer - former tenured law professor, Tonight Show alum, and SOPAC fan favorite - returns with her new show, Big Waitlist Energy. Sharp, warm, and completely her own, Liz is exactly the kind of comedian who makes you laugh and think at the same time, often within the same sentence.
The Improvised Shakespeare Company takes one audience suggestion and builds a complete, fully improvised Shakespearean play from scratch. No script, no rehearsal, no idea where it’s going until it gets there. A Chicago institution since 2005 and celebrated at venues from the Kennedy Center to the Soho Theatre in London, their show is as funny, surprising, and as thrilling as live performance gets.
Ladies of Laughter, the celebrated national comedy competition known as "The Careerbuilder for Women in Comedy," brings four standout comedians to SOPAC for a night of nonstop laughs. Featuring late night veteran Carmen Lynch, national headliner Monique Latise, theatrical comedy royalty Sheba Mason, and rising star Ellen Feeney, this is an evening that proves the funniest voices in the room are often the women in it.
