Halfway to Fifty…4

Laura is back and older than ever. Join her as she looks back on her 28 years of life through stand-up comedy, music of all genres and self-deprecation.

After performing iterations of this show for the past four years, Laura is thrilled to be bringing her life back to the stage. Laura is a recent winner of Best Comedian (Non-Standup) from the Chicago Reader. She has been seen at The Annoyance, iO, The Second City, Zanies, The Laugh Factory and Lincoln Lodge. Steve Cochran also deemed her a “Comedian To Watch.”

Come see stand up comedy and live music weaved together in a way that will make you wonder, “Was that really necessary?”

The show will also feature the blessing of world famous music director, Micky York. The sassiest comedian in Chicago, Joe Nicastro opens. What more could you ask for? Probably a lot- but that doesn’t matter. Just come!

Guest Performance,

Stand-up
An always popular form in which a comedian performs their unique brand of comedy, usually with nothing more than a mic and their own courage. If you enjoy a rapid-fire night of jokes and stories, a stand-up show might be the perfect fit.
