Host Jon Torgy ( Bio to come .... )

Guest Alecia Altstaetter has performed stand-up comedy and improv all over the Midwest. A mom to four children, she teaches improv and works at ComedySportz. Alecia also produces Hotties Only standup in Milwaukee.

Main Feature Ed Towns has a real love and passion for comedy. Throughout his life, he's always admired true professionals with a gift for invoking their ideas to a crowd through humor. This was never a reality for Ed until his high school English teacher, comedian and mentor Bill Gorgo opened his eyes during a class about stand-up comedy. It took several years but Ed's courage finally came to the forefront, and he hit the stage for the first time and instantly fell in love. Now Ed entertains and makes people laugh with his cynically honest views on relationships, current events and his family. Nothing is off limits as audiences get a peek into Ed's life and all the hilarity it ensues. Ed now is a producer of Comedians You Should Know, a 15-year staple in the Chicago Comedy scene as well as Blackout diaries which can be heard on Patton Oswald’s podcast network.

Headliner Joe Kilgallon was born and raised in Chicago. Joe started his stand-up comedy career after reading that most presidential candidates had college degrees and came to the hard truth that a run for the White House was a long shot at best. Described by the Chicago Tribune as having "a straight shooting, pull-no-punches style", Joe has performed at clubs and colleges all over America. He's been a personal opener for stars such as Hannibal Buress, Roy Wood Jr and Steve Byrne. With material ranging from alcohol to sex, Kilgallon is sure to rant about something the whole family can enjoy. Joe has released 3 albums that have all debuted #1 on the iTunes Comedy Charts! Joe has appeared in NBC's Chicago Med, a segment producer on MTV's Ridiculousness, and performs at all the top clubs in and around the great city of Chicago.
