This comedy showcase features stand-up comedians from our hometown of Chicago: Mark Rosenthal, Marie Salter, and our headliner, Vik Pandya
Mark Rosenthal is a hobbyist musician who makes very silly songs. These are those silly songs in even sillier video form. They won't change your life, they won't affect your future, and they won't solve any of your problems. But they should make you laugh. Probably.
Marie Salter creates characters from life and fantasy. Most of them will remind you that the end is, in fact, near. But in a funny way?
Vik reflects on being 30 years old and what he learned about himself during the pandemic in this hilarious standup set.
