Best stand-up in the burbs! Raue Center brings the best stand-up comics in the Chicagoland area close to home with Lucy’s Comedy, Raue Center’s longest-running program! Curated by comic and radio personality John DaCosse.

Samantha Chiappone is a stand-up comic and single mom who’s been making people laugh, sometimes on purpose, for the past two years. She’s performed at Zanies, the Raue Center, and anywhere else willing to hand her a mic. Her comedy is honest, fast, and just a little too relatable.

A Crystal Lake “townie”, Brynn takes the grist of life and makes it funny so we don’t all go mad. Enjoy! Recently featured in a showcase at Zanies, Tricia Babischkin is a Southerner who now lives in the Midwest, exploring how to navigate her married life, aging semi-gracefully, and her dog’s DNA tests.

Bill Gorgo’s career in entertainment has been a regular buffet. While writing and performing stand-up, his first love, he has written 3 plays and a television series, acted in half a dozen stage productions, is an award-winning storyteller, has been active in talk radio, and taught dramatic arts to grades 6-12. Currently, he teaches standup classes and mentors several young comedians. And be sure to ask him about being part of creating a terrific cookbook, “Life Beyond Takeout.”
