Best stand-up in the burbs! Raue Center brings the best stand-up comics in the Chicagoland area close to home with Lucy’s Comedy, Raue Center’s longest-running program! Curated by comic and radio personality John DaCosse.

Known as Uncle Lar’, Larry Reeb is the wise-cracking black sheep, the politically incorrect relative everyone knows. Like any concerned relative, Uncle Lar’ wants to help. So in his own twisted way, he does. He gives you “tips”. Uncle Lar’ offers tips on everything from marriage to lotteries to children. Always topping them off with, “That’s a tip from your Uncle Lar’.” Uncle Lar’ is a regular on “The Bob & Tom Show”, syndicated in over 100 markets. Larry has been voted Chicago Comedian of the Year and has made numerous television and radio appearances

With his slightly damaged take on things, Mike Preston has worked comedy clubs and sordid one-nighters from coast to coast for over thirty years, and made several TV appearances, including SHOWTIME’S COMEDY CLUB, and NBC’S FRIDAY NIGHT. Along the way, he produced and hosted a cable access talk show, as well as self-publishing several books, including the landmark self-help parody – STOP TALKING NOW! In addition to standup, Preston is currently working in the storytelling genre.

After studying improv for 4 years, Brian Williams has spent the last 5 years launching his stand-up career. He has performed all over Chicagoland, including Zanies and Lucy’s Comedy Cafe.
