About this Event

With more than 400 years collective stage experience the improv afficionados of BLUNCH! have performed on stages across the country, taught at iO, Annoyance, and The Second City, appeared in everything from stand-up to Shakespeare, TV, film, radio, cartoons, commercials, and voice-overs, and now they're coming to The Laughing Academy to show us all how long-form, fully improvised comedy is done!

With stars like Rick Hall (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Everybody Loves Raymond, Seinfeld), Darren Stephens (Chicago Fire, Chicago PD), Pat Musker (Late Night Catechism, Flanagan's Wake) Will Clinger (Fargo, Chicago PD, Stranger Than Fiction, Wild Chicago), and Jack Bronis (The Bear, Chicago PD, The Playboy Club) and our own in-house student long form troupe Scrub Daddies opening the show, this is a night not to miss!

ACADEMY AFTER HOURS is The Laughing Academy’s BOYB (snacks and sodas available at the venue), grown-ups-only, late-night performance series – bringing top-tier comics from around the country right here to YOU in Glenview!

So call the babysitter, bag a bottle . . . or stow a six-pack, we’re not here to judge . . . of your favorite bevvy, and take a quick ride over to Glenview Road for free parking, and first-class funnies!
