Comedian Ashley Hesseltine to Perform at The Den Theatre

The Den Theatre has announced comedian Ashley Hesseltine, co-host of the wildly-popular "Girls Gotta Eat" podcast, for an evening of stand-up on Friday, August 12, 2022 at 7:30 pm & 9:45 pm on The Heath Mainstage, 1331 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood. Tickets are currently available at thedentheatre.com or by calling (773) 697-3830. Regular, mezzanine and VIP table seating available. Drink service is provided for all seats (two drink minimum).

Ashley Hesseltine hails from Delaware (and is the self-proclaimed "second most famous person from the state" after Joe Biden), began standup comedy in Atlanta, and lives in and performs all over New York City. She's (probably) been called "the voice of her generation" by someone, and Popdust says "Ashley Hesseltine breathed new life to jokes about basic white womanhood; she could've easily given us ten minutes of "wine and bad boyfriends, amirite LADIES?", and instead she gave us vulnerability and raw honesty (who among us DOESN'T relate to stalking the ex that they dumped?)."

COVID guidelines: In the interest of keeping patrons and staff safe, and in accordance with the League of Chicago Theatres, The Den will continue to require proof of vaccination to attend any event for the indefinite future. While masking is no longer required, The Den strongly encourages patrons to continue wearing a mask when not eating or drinking.
