comedy showcase every Saturday from 7-9pm at Gallery Cabaret (2020 N Oakley Ave) in Chicago, IL No cover, donations accepted
The Two Hour Comedy Hour is best option in the city to kick off a Saturday night: free, stacked lineups of the best comedians both in the scene and from out-of-town; a chance for a lucky audience member to get onstage for a "Tight 42 Seconds"; hilarious and unpredictable hosts Andy Fleming, J. Michael Osborne and Deanna Ortiz; and weekly orgies! Okay, no orgies. But there are drink specials every Saturday, including $9 pitchers of Coors Light, Miller Lite, PBR, and Leinenkugel (and $3 pints of the same). In 2013, Sidesplitter called Two Hour one of the six best weekly showcases in Chicago. That same year, the show featured drop-ins from comics like Hannibal Buress, Kurt Metzger, Julian McCullough, John Roy, and much more. Do yourself a favor and kick off your Saturday night at the Two Hour Comedy Hour. Laugh 'til it smarts.
