Laugh your way out of the month and into the next at The Ideal’s monthly stand-up comedy showcase, presented by Lucky Cat Comedy & Events. On the final Thursday of each month, we turn the room over to a carefully curated lineup of local, regional, and nationally touring comedians.
January Headliner: Zach Peterson
Zach Peterson of Omaha, NE, has performed at top clubs and respected festivals across the country, building a reputation for stand-up that is both thoughtful and delightfully off-center. His debut comedy special, A List of Wet Celebrities, recorded at The Omaha Funny Bone and produced by Four by Three Productions, showcases his ability to weave absurdity with insight as he explores mental health, travel, technology, and modern life. Praised by the press as “one of the funniest comedians around” and an “affable oddball,” Zach’s work connects with audiences who appreciate comedy that is as clever as it is unexpected.
Rounding out the night is a handpicked selection of standout local comics, curated by Lucky Cat Comedy & Events to ensure a full evening of high-quality laughs from start to finish.
