• HOSTED BY LANCE ALLEN: A seasoned pro seen on Conan and TBS, Lance brings the charisma and timing that has made him a national favorite.

• RACHEL MARSH: A powerhouse regular at all of Chicago’s biggest comedy clubs, Rachel is known for her undeniable stage presence and sharp wit.

• CHRISTIAN HENNINGSMEYER: A Roast Battle Chicago veteran and All-Star, Christian brings a razor-sharp edge and "take-no-prisoners" comedic style.

From the stage of his monthly Big Black Comedy residency to a brand-new showcase, Melvin Stewart is bringing his signature energy back to The Den Theatre for a night of elite stand-up.

A road-tested comic who has performed all over the Midwest, Melvin has featured for nationally touring headliners including Paris Sashay, Calimar White, and Vik Pandya.

Known for a comedy style that is unapologetically "weird and filterless," Melvin’s material takes audiences on a wild ride through his eccentric upbringing and his current chaotic adventures as a father of three. If you’ve seen him host Big Black Comedy, you know he doesn't hold back—and as the headliner, the filters are coming all the way off.
