Stand Up Comedy with Headliner Jeanie Doogan!

ACADEMY AFTER HOURS is The Laughing Academy's grown-ups-only late-night performance series, bringing the best of Chicago comedy to YOU right here in the 'burbs! Join us for a night of laughs with a rotating roster of some of the hottest local comedians in the professional stand-up scene!

Headliner, Jeanie Doogan has set herself apart with her quick observations and no-apology take on teaching, parenthood, and American culture. Her sharp wit draws on her experiences growing up on the South side of Chicago and 20 years as a public school teacher to deliver comedy that reaches audiences of all walks of life.

Jeanie has entertained audiences at colleges, casinos, and corporate events, and is a regular at venues such as Zanies Comedy Clubs, The Laugh Factory, and The Comedy Bar. She was highlighted in Chicago Parents’ Magazine’s Four of Chicago’s Funniest: Stand Up Parents, and was featured on Team CoCo’s House All Star Showcase, and Nick Jr.’s Moms’ Night Out debut stand up special.
