The stories told at RISK! shows can be hilarious, moving, scary, sexy, thrilling and more. Since it began, the RISK! podcast has been downloaded over 70 million times by passionate fans around the world. Slate.com calls RISK! “jaw-dropping, hilarious and just plain touching.” This show will feature 3 storytellers each telling one true story from their lives, plus a mini story slam featuring short stories told by selected audience members, hosted by Kevin Allison.

5.11.25 — Doing Our Moms

7:30 pm CST @ iO! Theater

Bring your mom to the annual Mother's Day edition of Doing Our Moms! Hosted by Judy Anderson [her daughter, Chicago comic Emily Anderson in a wig], Doing Our Moms celebrates the vast array of people that raised us in the sincerest form we know how - putting on wigs and playing them for laughs. In each show, a new group of comedians are invited to put on a wig and do an impression of their real mom, or feature their mom however they like, be it storytelling, standup, or sketch. It's always hilarious, sometimes heartrending, and it's the best way to spend Mother's Day!

2.26.25— Women of a certain age of the night

Women of the Night is an exciting new comedy showcase premiering January 2025. Each month, a brand new lineup of Chicago’s funniest women over 40 regale audiences as they demystify perimenopause, post-divorce dating, and all the other delightful horrors women born in the 1900s endure. Each show also features an “Honorary Biddy,” or a younger comic to keep us all on trend and show us how Snapchat really works. When a woman turns a certain age, society tends to discard them, but Women of the Night is here to show that aging is a superpower that liberates women from giving any f*cks. And there’s simply no one funnier than a woman with no f*cks left to give. Come see for yourself!

8 pm CST @ Lincoln Lodge

Featuring:
