After a sold-out run at Toronto and Edinburgh Fringes, musical comedian Anesti Danelis brings his hit comedy special to CHICAGO for one night only! In this hilarious standup musical comedy hour, Anesti asks ChatGPT to write him a show based on his life, and this is what we got…

“A thoroughly entertaining and idiosyncratic stand-up show with songs that are intensely relatable, absurd, and side-splitting”
— ★★★★ The Extra Mile

“Anesti Danelis is redefining comedy with Artificially Intelligent… pure comedic gold… What makes Danelis stand out from the crowd of musical comedians is his knack for blending personal experiences with universal humor. Whether he’s riffing on second-generation immigrant challenges or poking fun at queer stereotypes, his comedy strikes a chord that’s both hilariously relatable and broadly accessible.”
— ★★★★★ Parton & Pearl
