Rogue Schmidt's GOING ROGUE: a Fat Dyke Comedy Special

Going Rogue: A Fat Dyke Comedy Special is the highly anticipated sophomore comedy special and costume event of Chicago Reader’s Best Comedian (2023) Rogue Schmidt.

Starting at 8pm, Rogue weaves us through their hilarious, unfiltered stand-up special celebrating their inner fat dyke and the wild moments that shaped them. Whether you’re a Chicago lesbian, a queer comedy lover, or someone who’s ever:
✔️ Played ultimate frisbee while closeted with your youth group
✔️ Questioned if scissoring actually works for your body
✔️ spent decades loving and worshiping the ground women walk on
✔️ Played ultimate frisbee while closeted with your youth group

Before the comedy is the PRE-SHOW costume extravaganza — you bring your best dyke drag, Rogue brings the prizes! Scroll down to check out category options and to start planning your fit.

Don’t miss one of the best LGBTQ+ comedy nights in Chicago—bring your friends, your carabiners, your hot date or just your love for queer joy and laughs that hit home.
