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.

What is the history of Paramount Theatre ?
Paramount continues to provide world-class entertainment—including dance, music, Broadway-caliber theatre, and children’s programming—for an annual audience of 350,000 patrons from over 250 communities. Over 40,000 of those patrons are proud to be Paramount Broadway Series subscribers. In addition, we’ve expanded operations with the recently-opened Paramount School of the Arts and are currently in the process of renovating Copley Theatre for our upcoming Bold Series, a provocative new theater adventure. At our sister venue, RiverEdge Park, we welcome well over 100,000 patrons each summer to enjoy some of the best artists in live music, including KISS, Steve Miller Band and much more. Paramount also hosts free community events, $1 Classic Movie Mondays and its opulent interiors provide a spectacular backdrop for private functions such as wedding receptions or corporate galas.
