You're Invited!
 

Brighton Park Neighborhood Council (BPNC) and Mikey O Comedy Show present our 5th Annual Comedy Cantina on Friday, May 12, 2017. The event will take place at IUOE Local 399, 2260 South Grove Street, Chicago, IL.

 

Direct from Los Angeles, this year’s headliner is Joey Medina from Latin Kings of Comedy. Other featured guest include Gwen La Roka from Laugh Factory and Ana Belaval from WGN’s Around Town. Chicago’s own Guapachosos will bring their unique “urban cumbia” sound to liven up the dance floor. DJ Bass Boy and DJ Vergil will keep people dancing all night.

​

Comedy Cantina raffles include tickets to Cubs game, White Sox games, Chicago Bulls fan basket, Adler Planetarium tickets, and much more!

​
