Comedian Bio’s for the Night:
Host Tony Lisowski is a stand-up comic based in Chicago. Known as a “comedian’s comedian,” his sharp writing combines unique, humorous insights into everyday family life with unexpected and playful commentary on the absurdities of our culture.
Guest Feature Casey Larwood is a Chicago based comedian who pre-pandemic performed all over – New York, Portland, Minneapolis, London. Even after several years of traveling and performing, her favorite shows on which to perform are in Chicagoland, including CYSK, ChUC, the Lincoln Lodge, and Tuxedo Cat Comedy (RIP) of which she was a host/producer.
Main Feature AJ Leidig started making internet videos during college and quickly discovered a love for comedy. Now he uses that same wit on stage across Chicago, the suburbs, and Milwaukee!
Headliner Sohrab Forouzesh is a Chicago based comedian and writer who won’t take it personally if you say his name wrong. He moved to the U.S from Iran when he was just eight years old, and his material is heavily influenced by his experiences as a fat Persian kid growing up in America. His rapid-fire delivery paired with his down to earth relatability is what makes him a favorite of the local Chicago comedy scene. He was recently named a finalist for StandUP NBC, and he’s also a regular at the world-famous Laugh Factory, Comedy Bar, and Zanies Comedy Club.
