About Vouch
In Chicago, most "comedy showcases" aren't actual showcases. Sure, there are a bunch of comics doing 8-10 minutes each, but nobody's actually showcasing for anyone. Vouch seeks to change that by bringing bookers from Chicago's most prominent clubs and independent venues to each show, giving comics the chance to showcase their talent and progress to more meaningful stage time.
EVERY LAST WEDNESDAY AT LAUGH FACTORY CHICAGO
Each month, hundreds of comics audition at open mics throughout Chicago, but only the best of the best make it to the Vouch Comedy Show! There, they perform for a group of bookers who extend opportunities to their favorite comedians!
WHY YOU CAN'T MISS THIS:
- Tomorrow’s Stars: See Chicago's funniest up-and-coming comedians before anyone else.
- Interactive Experience: Your laughter shapes what happens next. At the end of each show, representatives from the best shows and clubs in Chicago invite their favorite comics to perform on their shows!
- Variety of Acts: From sharp one-liners to hilarious storytelling, enjoy a diverse range of comedic styles.
- Community Vibe: Join a community of comedy lovers who are passionate about Chicago comedy!
Enjoy a brand new, never-before-seen lineup every last Wednesday of the month.

Vouch was stacked! I didn't know any of the comics and had never seen their acts before this show and I could not have been more excited to book them at The Vixen. Every one of them received a future paid spot at The Laugh Fox Showcase and a few private gigs were offered as well.

Vouch put me on a major stage in front of top producers in the industry, which resulted in bookings at Zanies Rosemont, Zanies Chicago and Laugh Factory! I wouldn’t have had this chance without Vouch and the exposure has led to more opportunities and continued bookings on top local shows.

Vouch was my first show at the Laugh Factory (which was incredible!), and connected me to do a show at Zanies. Because of Vouch, I’ve met and learned from other, more experienced comics, and it’s helped me feel more confident and connected to the Chicago Chicago comedy scene.
