Kevin Smith at Stand Up Live

Kevin Smith

Chasing Amy. Clerks (1 and 2). Mall Rats. Dogma. Red Dawn. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. And of course, the unfortunate Jersey Girl.

Anjelah Johnson at Stand Up Live

Anjelah Johnson

She's a Mexican Native-American actress, comedienne, and former NFL cheerleader (yes, really!). Perhaps it's this varied career path that makes it so easy for Anjelah Johnson to slip into different comedy roles - the most notable being disgruntled fast food worker Bon Qui Qui. Comedy meets music in the able hands of the MadTV alumnus Johnson.

HYPROV: Improv Under Hypnosis at The Van Buren

HYPROV: Improv Under Hypnosis

World famous mesmerist Asad Mecci and legendary improvisational comedian Colin Mochrie join forces for one of the most unpredictable, jaw-dropping shows you'll have ever witnessed in HYPROV: Improv Under Hypnosis. The daring format takes twenty volunteers from the audience being put under hypnosis live onstage. As their minds become swayed they're eventually whittled down to the five most suggestible, who'll spend the rest of the evening subconsciously performing with the world's greatest improv comedian!

Craig Ferguson at Stand Up Live

Drunk Shakespeare at Rose 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.

Deon Cole at Stand Up Live

Deon Cole

After earning two NAACP Image Awards and two SAG Awards nominations for his career-defining role on critically acclaimed sitcom Black-ish, Deon Cole has fast become a household name.
