- First Date Comedy Gameshow
- The First Date is a comical hunt for love. Chicago's funniest stand-up comedians hit the stage as one audience member is selected from the crowd to be our guest of honor. They are brought on stage but visually separated from the comedians. They are able to hear the jokes, but won't be able to see the faces telling them. After hearing all the sets, they'll have to decide which comic won them over. Once their selection is made, a first date happens live on stage. Will they find love or ask for separate checks?Singles & couples alike come to watch the chaos unfold.

- Whose Lie Is It Anyway?
- Whose Lie Is It Anyway? brings you a night of comedy and deception like never before! In this high-stakes storytelling showdown, each comic steps up with a story—some are outrageous, others oddly believable—but there’s one question in everyone’s mind: are they telling the truth, or is it all a lie? After each story, the host and audience join forces to interrogate the comic, asking clever questions to trip them up and reveal the truth. The comic’s goal? Stick to their story, whether it’s real or a total fabrication, while dodging the audience's suspicions. The audience votes on whether they think it’s a truth or a lie, adding to the pressure and the fun! Can you spot the truth? Come join the fun and find out!
