Comics for the Night:
Host Alex Ridge is a Chicago-based stand-up comedian from LaGrange Park, Illinois, known for his laid-back and relaxed style of comedy. His sharp wit and effortless delivery have earned him a spot on Comedy Plex Comedy Club’s “Watch List,” highlighting him as a comedian on the rise. Alex has performed all across the Midwest, bringing his unique perspective and easygoing humor to audiences throughout the region.
Main Feature Dina Lewis is single mom (by choice) and is navigating life with humor and a touch of being blissfully dead inside. She shares her unique take on life’s chaos at clubs throughout Chicago, including Laugh Factory, Zanies, The Lincoln Lodge and The Second City and more!
Headliner Dwayne Kennedy is one of comedy’s most respected and influential voices — a true “comedian’s comedian” known for his razor-sharp wit, fearless social commentary, and brilliantly original perspective. A staple of the Chicago comedy scene before taking his talents nationwide, Kennedy has spent decades earning the admiration of audiences and fellow comics alike with a style that is both deeply thoughtful and laugh-out-loud funny. Kennedy’s career includes appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Comedy Central Presents, and his own Showtime comedy special. In 2002, he was awarded “Best Comedian” at the prestigious HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen. Beyond stand-up, Kennedy has built an impressive career as an actor, writer, and producer. His television credits include Seinfeld, Martin, 227, and FX’s Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell, while his film work includes How High and Talkin’ Dirty After Dark. He also earned an Emmy Award as a producer on CNN’s acclaimed series United Shades of America. With a comedic voice that blends intelligence, honesty, satire, and masterful storytelling, Dwayne Kennedy remains one of the most respected and important comedians working today.
