Get ready, Chicago! The Whats Funny Comedy Festival takes over The Comedy Bar for an unforgettable night of stand-up hosted by one of the city’s biggest comedy stars — Lil Rel Howery!

A proud West Side native, Lil Rel is best known for his breakout role in Jordan Peele’s Get Out, his hit sitcom Rel on FOX, and standout performances in Free Guy, Judas and the Black Messiah, HBO’s Issa Rae’s Rap Sh!t, and Netflix’s The Comeback. His quick wit, fearless honesty, and signature Chicago swagger have made him a household name — and now he returns to his roots to host a showcase of some of the funniest comedians from across the country.

But the night doesn’t stop there! Stick around after the show for a special live panel featuring Lil Rel and Sheryl Underwood — Emmy-winning host of The Talk on CBS, stand-up powerhouse, and one of the most respected voices in comedy today.

This is more than just a comedy show — it’s a celebration of culture, creativity, and the next wave of comedy legends.
