Catch a pair of Chicago-based, nationally touring comedians at this Cheshire Cat Comedy showcase. Newcity Stage describes Kristen Toomey's style as “a mix of meanness underlaid with a heavy dose of Midwestern niceness and self-deprecation.” In addition to club shows, Aaron Putnam does stand-up for patients at drug and alcohol treatment centers as the founder of Stand Up in Recovery. With host Eric Fretty.
