STAND-UP: Headliner KRISTEN TOOMEY

Dubbed a "Chicago original" by The A.V. Club, KRISTEN TOOMEY recently skyrocketed to viral fame when a clip of her set got over 19M views onTikTok, garnering her wide media attention and a legion of new fans.

No stranger to fame, Kristen's debut comedy album reached #1 on iTunes, and her straightforward, incisive and inisghtful comedy style has taken her to top tier clubs all across the country - both as a headliner herself, or opening for heavyweights like Nate Bargatze, Michael Ian Black, SNL's Chris Redd, Bert Kreischer, and Eddie Pepitone.

Kristen can also be seen on Kevin Hart’s Comedy in Color (streaming on Peacock), WGN's late-night comedy series Man of the People with Pat Tomasulo, or listened to on her hit podcast "I'm Upset!" or onstage right here at The Laughing Academy in Glenview!
