Tight Five Productions was incorporated as a Not For Profit in 2004 in the state of Illinois with the vision of becoming Chicago's preeminent producer of innovative stand up comedy and comedic live performance.

Our mission then, as now, is to pursue opportunities to bring stand-up comedy and our affiliated performers to a wider audience in Chicago while providing overall support in increasing the quality of live stand-up comedy.

Tight Five Productions is the home of the The Lincoln Lodge, the country's longest running independent comedy showcase currently in it's twelfth year of production. We also offer stand up training classes with Feminine Comique, the world's only all-female stand up comedy class, together with a  co-ed presentation of the class called Stand Up Seminary.
