Doug Thompson: Stand Up With Heart (Literally)

Comedian Doug Thompson brings the laughs with a show that’s as sharp as it is heartfelt because when you survive heart surgery and a heart attack (yes, in that order), you gain a whole new appreciation for comedy, and life itself.

Doug has spent years crisscrossing the country, juggling the chaos of the road and the joys of raising two daughters with his wife. A Midwestern original, he’s quick witted, relatable, and has an uncanny knack for impressions that’ll have you double checking who’s actually on stage.

He honed his comedic chops as a support act for the Impractical Jokers on their national tour, sharing their signature fast-paced hilarity with sold out crowds across the U.S. But Doug’s story is all his own: from family life to surviving the ultimate “double header” of heart surgery and a heart attack, he finds the humor in even life’s toughest moments.

This show is high energy, laugh out loud funny, and packed with the kind of honesty that connects audiences of all ages. Whether he’s riffing on family life, impersonating a celebrity, or joking about life after a cardiac curveball, Doug Thompson will leave you laughing and feeling a little more alive.

Catch him live and see why comedy isn’t just his passion; it’s his heartbeat.

Seating is general admission. This event is located in Crown Hall on the 2nd floor of Pickle Palace.
