Chicago Street Lineup:
Lia Berman is a mother, coffee drinker, wife, and unapologetic Dave Matthews Band fan. She has run the Logan Lounge Open Mic in Chicago for 13 years and is currently a co-producer of Backroom Comedy. She has brought her comedy to the Zanies, and Laugh Factory stages as well as other venues in the Chicago-land area. Most recently Lia made a national TV debut on THE KELLY CLARKSON show with THE BAD MOMZ of COMEDY.
Avril Granato is a Chicago comic and mom born and raised in the city. She’s a proud product of CPS (Chicago public Schools) and an unfortunate die-hard Bears fan. She started out by taking Fem Com classes at The Lincoln Lodge and has since performed at The Laugh Factory, Zanies, Holiday Club, My Buddy’s and has performed with Bad Momz of Comedy all over the Chicago-land area. She has opened for SNL alum Nora Dunn. She loves stand-up because it gives her a reason to wear her flannels from her grunge days.
Amy Sumpter has an album on Band Camp and has performed all over the Midwest. She is also in an all-female Beastie Boy tribute band called She's Crafty.
Kristen Toomey’s standup career began in 2008. Since then she has headlined comedy clubs all over North America and the UK. Her recent Micro Special, produced by Zanies Chicago, was well received with over 300K views. Currently, with back to back viral reels amassing 16M+ views, her follower count continues to skyrocket.
Kristen's comedy style is unapologetically truthful and energetic, earning her the title of "Chicago Original" by The A.V. Club. Her debut album, "Mother. Fucker," hit #1 on iTunes, cementing her status as a force to be reckoned with.
She can be seen regularly at the top clubs in New York and Chicago like The Stand, New York Comedy Club, Zanies and Laugh Factory. Kristen has performed at numerous festivals such as the prestigious Just For Laughs in Montreal, 312 Comedy Festival, Oddball Festival, Flyover in St. Louis and more. She has opened for Chris Redd, Janelle James, Kyle Kinane, Natasha Leggero, Kevin Nealon, and April Macie.
You can currently see her standup on Kevin Hart’s LOL! Network and Comedy In Color streaming on Peacock.
