Cedric the Entertainer performs live on tour in his only Chicago-area stop. A veteran stand-up icon known for warm, story-driven humor, sharp observations about family, work, and everyday life, and playful crowd interaction, Cedric blends old-school showmanship with modern timing, moving from quick one-liners to vivid storytelling and characters. The show includes improvisation with the crowd, topical bits, and call-backs, and features some adult language and content, recommended for ages 18 and up.

Over 40,000 of those patrons are proud to be Paramount Broadway Series subscribers.
