Comedians You Should Know Ten Year Anniversary Celebration!
SINCE THIS IS A LIVE EVENT AND SEATS NEED TO BE FILLED, IF YOU DO NOT ARRIVE BY SHOWTIME, YOUR SEAT MAY BE SOLD TO SOMEONE ON THE WAITLIST. MAKE SURE YOU ARE BUYING TICKETS TO THE CORRECT SHOWTIME AND FOR THE CORRECT TICKET PRICE.
The year was 2008 and the world would change forever! The Dark Knight was released, the stock market crashed, and America elected its first black president!
It was also the year when a few Chicago-based comedians with little experience performing and zero experience producing, decided to produce a stand-up comedy showcase. Their goal was to produce the best stand-up showcase possible.
If you asked them, their friends, their loved ones, fellow comedians, some jag on the street, none would predict the show would last ten days, let alone ten years.
A decade later, the little bar show that could continues to be acclaimed by comedians, comedy fans, and critics-alike for its unwavering commitment to showcasing the best of both Chicago's mainstream and alternative stand-up comedy scenes.
The night will be what CYSK always intended every show to be: A celebration of the best in Chicago stand-up comedy! Both past, present, and future!
Both shows will be packed into over two hours and showcase many of your favorites over the show's history!

MORE ABOUT COMEDIANS YOU SHOULD KNOW (CYSK):
Comedians You Should Know (CYSK) is a stand-up comedy showcase which started in Chicago in 2008 at the now-defunct, Fizz Bar and Grill. The show quickly gained praise from fans and comedians alike for its unwavering commitment to presenting only the funniest Chicago comedians and visiting guests from both the alt and mainstream comedy scenes.
In 2010, they moved to a favorite downtown watering hole, Timothy O'Toole's Pub. Since then, the show has become a destination from anyone around the Chicago area. From hipsters to yuppies to suburbanites, to the occasional homeless person, anyone seeking the best in Chicago stand-up comedy knows, CYSK is the place to be!
In addition to their showcase, CYSK has produced a whopping 20 comedy albums in their room, many of them reaching the top of the iTunes comedy chart!
CYSK has gotten critical-acclaim from several media outlets, most notably The Onion A.V. Club who said: "The genuine quality of talent on display is unrivaled in Chicago."
In 2015, CYSK expanded their weekly showcase to Los Angeles and then to New York City in 2016, making it the only comedian-produced, stand-up comedy showcase to be featured in the three biggest cities in the country!
