Comedian Matthew Broussard to Perform at The Den Theatre This Month

The Den Theatre has announced comedian Matthew Broussard for an evening of stand-up on Sunday, August 21 at 7 pm on The Heath Mainstage, 1331 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood. Tickets ($15 - $28) are currently available at thedentheatre.com or by calling (773) 697-3830.

Matthew Broussard is a disgraced financial analyst forced into stand-up comedy. The byproduct of a Cajun chemist and Jewish microbiologist, he holds a degree in computational mathematics he always manages to bring up (just did it!) and is fully aware of how douchey he looks. His comedy is heady, self-effacing and weirdly... educational? He's performed on The Tonight Show, Conan, Jeff Ross Presents Roast Battle, Comedy Central's The Half Hour, and some stuff with MTV2 he doesn't like to talk about. You can catch him in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The League, The Mindy Project and alongside Billy Crystal and Tiffany Haddish in the film Here Today. He is the creator of the webcomic and puzzle app, Monday Punday.

Tickets: $18 regular seating ($15 obstructed view); $28 front row VIP table seating; $23 VIP table seating; $20 mezzanine table seating. All ticket prices include cocktail service with a two-drink minimum.

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.
