BLUE COLLAR COMEDY @ CLARA CHICAGO

Join us for the November Blue Collar Comedy - stand Up by the working class. Have a seat on the velvet couches, enjoy the amazing cocktail menu and small bites, and feel free to bring your own food!

Blue Collar is a stand-up show spotlighting comedians who know hard work—onstage and off. Whether it’s working service jobs, clocking in at the warehouse, or juggling gigs to make rent, these comics come from the kind of everyday hustle that rarely gets a spotlight in the arts world or funding.

All of us have professional credits. All of us have woken up early for factory shifts, stayed up past midnight waiting tables and closing the restaurant or loading luggage onto boarding airplanes. Humor is the working class' survival strategy.

Supporting this show means backing comics who’ve worked twice as hard to get half as far & still K*ll.

Stuti Sharma (WBEZ, Second City)

Remy Guzman (Laugh Factory, Zanies)

Our show is always free, but we have a tip jar for performers, of which we donate 20% to a cause. This month we are donating to Mexican Students de Aztlán at UIC (MESAUIC) to support with student organizers' efforts around migrant rights, rapid response networks, and building power within social movements.
