About this Event

Every Friday BABS Comedy Club brings the funny in full force with a hand-picked lineup of rising stars and killer headliners you’ve seen at the biggest comedy clubs in Chicago and across the country. This is comedy up close and hilarious.

CHECK OUT THIS FRIDAY 6/5 LINEUP!

⭐️Malcolm Vee is an up-and-coming comedian from Chicago whose material mixes absurd logic, unconventional perspectives, and tight punchlines. His comedy lives somewhere between thoughtful and unhinged.

⭐️Sophia Smarandescu is a multi-millionaire Chicago-based comic. She's zany, tall, and Eastern European. She’s opened for Jackie Fabulous, Nick Guerra, Tony Clifton, and even been blocked on Twitter by Chris D'Elia. She’s performed at Beast Village Comedy Festival, Blue Whale Comedy Festival, and Lady Laughs Comedy Festival.

⭐️Tina Youkhana is a Chicago based comedian who started her stand up journey in 2019. She has performed all over the US, touching on topics such as growing up biracial, differences in cultures, and partying. Tina is the founder, and head producer of HA/HA To Hell, a monthly dark comedy show at Reggie’s Rock Club.

⭐️Todd Douglas: A cute lil comedian by way of Indiana, Todd Douglas has been tearing up the scene! The bloke has performed at Zanies, Laugh Factory, and even headlined Second City. He is odd, but he is 100 percent Todd.

⭐️⭐️ Jessica Mance-- Your Headliner, is a Chicago-based comic originally from Northern California. Jessica's perspective of the world is influenced by her experience as a bisexual, Black woman recklessly navigating her 20s. Her pleasant tone and appearance will make you think she has her life together, but she's actually just a high functioning hot mess. She is a founding member of Unlikely Friends Comedy, a comedy team that produces Fourplay Fridays and Apocalypse Comedy.

🍾No Drink minimum. Just you, your friends, your favorite snacks, and some of the best stand-up in the city.
