Joe Kilgallon and friends!

The Laughing Academy is thrilled to invite back an audience favorite, headliner Joe Kilgallon. Described by the Chicago Tribune as having "a straight shooting, pull-no-punches style," Joe has performed at clubs and colleges all over America. He's been a personal opener for stars such as Hannibal Buress, Roy Wood Jr., and Steve Byrne.

ACADEMY AFTER HOURS is The Laughing Academy's new grown-ups-only late-night performance series, bringing the best of Chicago comedy right to YOU right here in the 'burbs!

This is an adults-only BOYB event! So, ditch the kids and head over to The Laughing Academy to split a side, bust a gut, and get your giggles on for the weekend!

More about Joe: Joe Kilgallon began his comedy career in the vibrant Chicago Stand-Up Scene, which was very convenient for him seeing as he was born in raised in the city and wears Chicago on his sleeve like an Italian Beef stain. With material ranging from alcohol to sex, Kilgallon is sure to rant about something the whole family can enjoy.

Joe's comedy albums, Pay Attention, Can't Complain, and I Didn't Say Anything Bad debuted #1 on the iTunes Comedy Charts! Can't Complain was released as a special on Youtube and received over 500,000 views in it's first month! In 2018 Joe landed the role he was born to play, Guy Peeing in Wrigley Field along side Actor Ike Barinholtz in a commercial for the Chicago Cubs! Joe also appeared in an episode of Chicago Med, where he played a guy who was stabbed during a game of pool, proving that he is already being typecast.

So, call the sitter, drop a bottle of BYOB in your Birkin, and head over to The Laughing Academy for a night of guaranteed laughs.
