Check out all the photos from our 26th Annual Comedy Fest
Just like that, the third annual 26th Annual Comedy Festival has come to a close. It was a wild five nights of comedy and a rousing success by all accounts. Thanks so much for coming out to the various shows and helping us celebrate —we hope to continue the fun next year, so keep your calendars wide open. In the meantime, we’ve got a ton of fantastic photos from the week’s events, and you can check some of them out below. Except where noted, they were shot by Matt Lief Anderson.
Thanks also to everyone who has performed, all the venues that have hosted shows, and all of our sponsors: truTV, Lyft, Lagunitas, Don Q, Virgin Hotels, and the Chicago Humanities Festival.
