Spotlight: The Funny Story Show
The Funny Story Show is Chicago's new hybrid stand-up/storytelling showcase and will debut on May 18th at LooseLeaf Lounge . The Funny Story Show is hosted by Caitlin Bergh, a winner of the Moth StorySLAM .
Shows will take place every third Friday of the month at 7:30pm, and feature six comics who have been invited to tell one story each. There are no rules except the story has to be funny.
The show will wrap with the funny story challenge, in which two audience names are pulled from a hat and each person will have 5 minutes to tell a funny story on any topic. The winner (by audience applause) will be invited back for a featured spot the next month.
Scheduled to perform at the debut are comedians Kelsie Huff , Chris Condren (Atomic Comics), Lisa Laureta , Peter-john Byrnes (Mayne Stage), Mollie Merkel (The Andy Kaufman Award) and Andy Fleming (Shine Box Comedy).
Admission is $5 suggested donation and doors are at 7 p.m.
