Performance Anxiety to Host Alex Stone and More at The Pleasure Chest, 10/20

By:

Performance Anxiety Chicago is delighted to host headliner Alex Stone at the next installment of our free, BYOB monthly comedy series at The Pleasure Chest (3436 N. Lincoln, 60657) on Oct. 20.

Alex Stone moved to Chicago from Cincinatti and has quickly become a local favorite. He's a regular at the Laugh Factory, was a finalist on NBC's Last Comic Standing, and appeared in the prestigious New Faces showcase at Just for Laughs Montreal.

In addition to Alex, the show also features returning Chicago favorite James Fritz. This cuddly feminist poetic type was a Chicago favorite before heading out to LA, where he now enjoys the sun but has maintained his beard. You will love James. You WILL.

In addition to Stone and Fritz, the show will feature:

Charlie Bury

Lara Beitz

Jeff Scheen

Joel Kim Booster

Melody Kamali

Performance Anxiety Chicago is helmed by Chicago comedians Kristin Clifford (Lincoln Lodge, TBS Just For Laughs) and Kevin Brody (Arguments and Grievances).

Audience members receive 15 percent off anything in the store the night of the show. For more information, follow on Facebook: www.facebook.com/PerformanceAnxietyChicago and Twitter: twitter.com/performanxchi.
