The Comedy Exposition of 2014

The Comedy Exposition of 2014 is an independent comedy festival celebrating the best in local and national standup. Everyone on the Comedy Exposition team is a comedian, a producer of comedy shows, or both (mostly both). We're using what we've learned at other festivals, at our own shows, and as lovers of Chicago to create the best possible experience for festival attendees and performers.

Every day of the festival takes place in a different neighborhood, across multiple venues. This neighborhood-focused approach means that you'll be able to walk from show-to-show, making it as easy as possible to see as much comedy as you want.

Each night will feature multiple showcases packed with comics from our submission processincluding our favorite local headlinersand surprise drop-ins from our national headliners. A little later in the evening, our main event shows will be stacked with multiple headliners per show, with one doing an extended set.

Our headliners include Andy Kindler, Sean Patton, Aparna Nancherla, Sean O'Connor, Adam Cayton-Holland, and Ryan Singer. More comics and the full schedule will be announced soon!
