The Laugh Factory in Chicago to host award-winning comedy game show in September

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS — Hot off winning the title of “Best Virtual Live Comedy Experience” from Chicago Magazine, the comedy game show Wisecrackin’ will host its first in-person/virtual hybrid show.

Wisecrackin’ hits the Laugh Factory’s Chicago stage at 8 p.m. CST on Thursday, September 2. The show will feature a truly special guest streaming in virtually from Los Angeles: comedian/improviser/actor Greg Proops (Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Drew Carey’s Improv-A-Ganza, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace). The live performance will also stream on the game show’s Facebook page and Twitch channel.

Created by Chicago comedian and Second City faculty Angie McMahon (featured guest on Netfilx’s Nailed It!), Wisecrackin’ pits comedians in head-to-head competition to see who can come up with the best punchlines to set ups they are seeing for the first time. Written all by McMahon and her writers’ room. Other participating comedians and the audience vote on which punchline is best each round and crown a winner. All while playing audience challenges throughout the night. An interactive experience never before seen in the world of Comedy.

Since its debut in May 2020, Wisecrackin’ has gained more than 11,000 followers on Facebook, and hundreds of weekly viewers for its Friday night live-stream. In the past year, the show has featured talented guests such as Stephen Tobolowsky (Groundhog Day, Memento), Andy Kindler (Bob’s Burgers), Jay Mohr (Jerry Maguire), and Leon Rogers (The Chicago Morning Show on 107.5 WGCI), among many others. Participating regulars include stand-up comedians from across the country, such as Richard Charles Anderson, Sam Howard, Sommer Austin, Marz Timms, and Mia McCullough, among others.

More details on September’s show are coming soon. For more information, email [email protected].
