Jim Flannigan is a crowd favorite at comedy clubs across the country. A staple of the Chicago comedy scene, Flannigan combines quick, clever punchlines with a rapid-fire delivery for a uniquely hilarious and engaging show. Jim recently showcased his skills during a standout performance on Nate Bargatze’s show, Nateland Presents. Jim has been featured at many of the top comedy festivals around the US, including the Boston Comedy Festival, Gilda’s Laughfest, and the Great American Comedy Festival, honoring the late Johnny Carson. When not headlining his own tours, Jim has opened for Demetri Martin, Brad Garrett and Sebastian Maniscalco, among others. Don’t just take everyone else’s word for it, come see for yourself why Jim Flannigan is one of the most in demand comedians working today!

Hari Rao’s comedy draws upon 45 years of life experience to highlight the peculiarities of everyday living that we simply accept as given, as well as dissecting his own personal experiences that can best be described as “are you being serious?!”. His adventure in standup began in 201,6 while his experience in entertainment spans two decades as a recording artist, a recurring theme in his comedy (his band’s song “Rewind” can be heard as the theme song to ABC’s The Goldbergs). Hari is a regularly featured performer at Zanies Comedy Clubs.

Recently featured in a showcase at Zanies, Tricia Babischkin is a budding comic and one of the Raue Center very own. A Southerner who now lives in the Midwest, she explores how to navigate her married life, aging semi-gracefully, and her dog’s DNA tests.
