ABOUT THE COMEDIANS

Chloe Mikala (she/her) is a Black Queer award winning actor, comedian, and writer. She’s opened for Dulcé Sloan, Bobcat Goldthwait, Adam Conover, Marcella Arguello and more. She's been seen on multiple stages and festivals such as Laugh Factory, Comedy on State, Comedy Vault, Madison Comedy Festival, and the Black Women in Comedy Laff Festival in NYC (Best of Fest Runner Up ‘23), just to name a few. She’s performed with The Second City, where she was a Bob Curry Fellow, and is a co-producer/ensemble member for the all Black comedy variety show “My Best Friend is Black”, which was voted as the Best Comedy Show by the Chicago Reader. Chloe also has a horror movie on Tubi called "Re-Elected" and spoiler she doesn't die first. Absolutely groundbreaking.  @chloe_mikala

Chelsea K Myers is a Chicago based standup. She’s a proud member of the queer community and is a producer for Laughs @ Lakeview. @chelseakmyers

Lexi Mer's comedic journey began on a whim in 2011 at an open mic in her hometown, Las Vegas. Balancing her passion for stand-up with her career in Communications, she's honed her skills as a storyteller, specializing in observational comedy. Since relocating to Chicago nearly five years ago, Lexi has graced stages across the Windy City, and she proudly earned her stripes as a Second City alum. With a firm belief that laughter is the best form of therapy, Lexi is devoted to sharing her light, witty observations, and infectious humor. @heysixela

Jackie Linn is a Filipino-American comedian born and raised in Los Angeles. Surrounded by the glamour of Hollywood, she decided to pursue entertainment in 2012. Her first performance was at The Comedy Store in the Main Room but has since been on stages such as: Flappers Comedy Club in Burbank, Pasadena Ice House, Zanies and Laugh Factory in Chicago. However, Jackie Linn is best known as Blair McGunty from a Streamy Award winning comedy series called Mr. Student Body President, which can be found on YouTube. She now produces a weekly show called Big Break Comedy in Chicago and has been known to "prescribe laughter as medicine." Jackie Linn will have you in stitches with her punny punchlines, silly stories and quirky quips!  @jackielinndotcom

Grace Piotrowski (Host) is a Chicago-based comedian who’s performed across the country with credits including Zanies, Second City, Capital Laughs, and Sunshine City Comedy Club. Her comedy is known for its biting social commentary and unfortunately-based-on-real-life awkward moments. She produces a weekly open mic in Wrigleyville. @gracepiotrowski
