Waukegan Comedy Jam!!!

The Waukegan Comedy Jam is a passion project for Kristin Carnes who grew up in the city and graduated from East High School in 1985. She began doing stand-up comedy in Boston a few years ago performing throughout New England. After participating in a number of comedy festivals around the country, she realized this would be a great addition to Downtown Waukegan’s burgeoning arts scene.

After returning to Waukegan for a visit, Kristin connected with Waukegan Main Street, Three Brothers, and the City of Waukegan and thus the Waukegan Comedy Jam was born.

This years jam is November 13th & 14th and features are very own Kristin Carnes hosting and featuring Elijah Holbrook and Luis Arevalo. Headlining on November 13th will be Chastity Washington. Headlining on November 14th will be Simon O'Keefe.
