About this Event

FIFTEEN already?!!
Why, we're old enough to get our learner's permit!
We can work the weekend shift at McDonald's!
Heck, we could even get married in West Virginia!

But instead, we're throwing a stand-up-comedy party for ourselves and YOU'RE invited!

Join us January 24th, when top TLA instructors Tyler Fowler, Vik Pandya, Jimmy Carrane, Laura Hugg and even TLA Founder Kim Greene Hiller take the stage for a night of stellar stand-up sets!

⭐PLUS - all former or current Laughing Academy students in attendance can put their name in a drawing to have their own five minute spot on the show!!⭐

YOUR LINEUP

Headliner Tyler Fowler is fresh off his "My Mom Says I Can't Go" tour, where his witty and clean brand of stand-up has made him a favorite across the US at venues like Zanies and The Laugh Factory. His debut album Friends With 401(k) Benefits premiered #1 on iTunes and Top 10 on the Billboard Comedy Charts, and his Drybar Comedy special airs soon!

Vik Pandya's witty self-deprecation, observational humor on dating, and hilarious crowd work have made him a sought after act, opening for international acts like Vir Das, Zakir Khan & Atul Khatri, and appearing at Zanies , The Laugh Factory, and The Improv in Chicago.

Groundbreaking comedian Jimmy Carrane has been performing and teaching improv for more than 30 years at places like The Second City, iO Chicago, and The Annoyance Theater. Host of his own celebrity-interview podcast, "Improv Nerd", he's also been seen on numerous TV shows and movies.

Laura Hugg performs at clubs like Laugh Factory, Zanies, Second City, shows and festivals throughout the country, and currently hosts Keep Coming Back, a monthly comedy variety show about all forms of recovery, at the Lincoln Lodge and Laughs on a Hot Tin Roof at the Five and Dime in Evanston.

Kim Greene Hiller began her professional comedy career at The Second City Chicago, and went on to perform and write at Second City Detroit, as well as teach classes at the Second City Detroit Conservatory.​ She was a member of Annoyance Theater's mainstage improv troupe Screw Puppies, made regular appearances with long-form improv groundbreakers The Free Associates, and acted in a wide range of industrial videos, voice-overs, and commercials.

So grab your seat and get down to Glenview Road to see us off in style for our FINAL celebration in the TLA Studio!
