The festival will take place from September 16th-22nd at the historic DuSable Museum of African American History, along with a few other prime Chicago locations.
In addition to live comedy performances, the festival will feature assorted vendors, merchandise, food, musical performances, special panels with comedic legends, and the taping of Howery’s first self-produced stand-up special, which will close out the week. Up-and-comers will also benefit from workshops looking at the fundamentals, when it comes to the art and business of comedy.
