CYSK Presents: Janet McNamara Live Special Taping

Janet McNamara is one of Boston's best comics and best-kept secrets. An accountant with townie charm and no time for stupid people, she was featured on America's Got Talent and made the finals of the 2024 Big Sky Comedy Festival. Maria Bamford even called her “a fantastic comic-with an amazing delivery and enviable timing of very unique material” and Janet hates compliments, so it must be true.

COMEDIANS YOU SHOULD KNOW is a stand-up comedy collective for some of the funniest up-and-coming stand-up comedians in the country. Since its inception in 2008, CYSK has produced a weekly stand-up comedy showcase in downtown Chicago that continues to draw sold-out crowds and a loyal local following. Fans and comedians alike recognize CYSK for it's unwavering commitment to presenting only the very funniest local comedians and visiting guests. The Onion AV Club writes of CYSK, "the genuine level of talent is unrivaled."

In 2017, CYSK branched out east, bringing the same scrappy, comedic vision and DIY-attitude to THE SPARE ROOM at GUTTER in New York, home of the best stand-up comedians in the world. In a dynamic comedy scene with so many different styles of comedy shows, CYSK believe the only gimmick required is presenting the very funniest standup comics available; the only theme to the show is that all of the performers are comedians you really should know.
