Bio’s for the Night:

Guest Feature Avery has been doing comedy in the Midwest for the past 5 years, he has opened up regularly for Charlie Berens across the Midwest and is currently living in Milwaukee with his 7 year old son.

Main Feature Alex Savant is a young up-and-coming award-winning comedian from Rockford and Co-Producer of the renowned collective Chill Pill Comedy. Quickly climbing through the ranks of comics in the state-line area, Alex has found a voice that sounds just as comfortable shouting over a pool hall jukebox as it does deliver biting satire in the area’s most historic theaters. This stiff upper lip style follows in the working-class traditions of Pryor and Carlin – critical but not thoughtless, unabashed but not crass. Not afraid to punch above his weight class, Alex can be seen performing across the Midwest.

Main Feature Mike Knight grew up as a military “brat” and spent a majority of his youth in foreign countries learning how to make new friends every four years. Comedy became his go-to tool to break the ice and find the common ground in every culture he came across, laughter. Mike started comedy in Omaha, Nebraska and after one year of performing took a risk and came to Chicago to perform at the historic Jokes n’ Notes venue where he discovered he had what it took to move to ‘The City’ and pursue his dreams of becoming a professional comic. 10 years later, he’s showcased at such venues as Riddles, Laugh Factory, Omaha Funny Bone, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Monticello in Atlanta and is a regular face throughout comedy clubs in the city of Chicago and the surrounding mid-western circuit. He has finished the Second City Improv training course whereyy he was recognized and hired to perform with the Chicago Improv Production group. His newest endeavor involves continuing to grow his Real R.A.P. Podcast with an ever increasing following of supporters tuned in to here comics discuss current news and entertainment topics. Comedy is his way of life and he plans to bring the funny to any person in need of a laugh.
