Back by popular demand!  It's your turn to take the mic and feel the rush of sharing your own material before a live audience.  

You'll learn to develop, edit, and deliver your very own material and we'll supply you with a live audience to do so in a show on Saturday, April 8th! 

And because you deserve the best - your teachers are the incredible Tyler Fowler and Vik Pandya both hard working comics who know all angles of the industry and who travel the country making 'em laugh!  

Tyler Fowler's witty and clean brand of stand up comedy has made him a favorite around Chicago and across the US. Regularly appearing at Zanies Comedy Clubs and The Laugh Factory Chicago he was named among the 'Best Of The Fest' at the  Cleveland Comedy Festival. Tyler's debut album Friends With 401(k) Benefits premiered #1 on iTunes and Top 10 on the Billboard Comedy Charts and he recently recorded a special for Drybar Comedy.

Vik Pandya is a nationally touring stand up comic based in Chicago. Known for his sharp self-deprecation, observational humor on dating, & hilarious crowd work, his comedy album 'Friends With 401(k) Benefits' debuted #1 on iTunes / Top 10 on the Billboard Charts and he recently recorded a special for Dry Bar Comedy. Vik performs regularly at Zanies Comedy Club, The Laugh Factory, & The Improv in Chicago.  He's been featured in 17 comedy festivals across the country including the prestigious San Francisco’s Sketchfest (2020) and NBC's Breakout Comedy Festival (2018).  Vik's comedy has appeared in Vulture, the Chicago Sun Times, & the Chicago Tribune.
