The final show in Playhouse on Park's Season Seven Comedy Night Series is set for tonight, May 21. The venue is ending things with co-headliners Poppy Champlin and Mike Egan. The first performance is set for 7pm; due to the success of our previous comedy nights, you can catch a second show at 10pm.

All of Poppy Champlin's shows can be described as spin art - "no two alike." Poppy is crackerjack at the craft of improv. Throw anything at her and watch as she magically turns it into comedic fodder. Having graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a degree in Theatre she then went on to the Famed Chicago Second City Improv school. Poppy is a powerful performer who can glide between practiced patter and off the cuff insightful improvisations.

Mike Eagan is a comedian's comedian - one of those funny people that make all the other funny people stay after their set is done to watch a master. Whether the topic is driving on a crowded highway, sharing a bathroom with his wife or visiting the family at Thanksgiving, Mike finds the humor with a quick and very sharp wit. Mike has more than twenty five years of experience and has been the emcee/host/creative director of famed New York City hot spots like Catch A Rising Star and Dangerfield's. Mike has also enjoyed a stellar career in radio where his ability to ad-lib earned him the coveted morning show for a number of different stations in the New York metropolitan area.
