Piper’s Alley Handshake gives a proper introduction to some of the funniest stand-ups in the city and from across the country. Over four Fridays at the Blackout Cabaret, an amazing line-up of comics will be bringing today’s freshest punchlines, while carrying on the spirit of Piper’s Alley, considered ‘ground zero’ for Chicago’s counterculture movement of the 1960’s.
