HIRE AN EDGE COMEDY SHOW
Looking for something different to entertain your guests, at your bar, club, party, or event? Well we’ve got something for you.
The Edge Comedy Show is Chicago’s most prolific independent stand up comedy showcase and since 2001 has been seen in 8 counties, 12 cities, 60 venues, and by over 25,000 people. Generally stand up comedy in on TV has been boiled down to the lowest common denominator and has become fairly bland, but The Edge has been breathing new life into the stand up scene for 5 years. In the tradition of Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Chris Rock, Lenny Bruce and other landscape changing comics, The Edge encourages no-holds-barred comedy. The Edge Comedy Show promotes the HBO style of comedy; intelligent, poignant, hard hitting, meaningful, and intensely funny. Although most acts come with an R rating, you won’t hear much filthy or sexual material, because for the most part everyone has something more important to say.
The Edge currently has over 100 stand up comedians performing in Chicagoland as well as magicians, jugglers, and bands all with an original edge to them. Some of our performers have been seen on HBO, NBC, Showtime, BET, Def Comedy Jam, BBC, CBS, Comedy Central, WGN, and more. Full showcases are available in a variety of formats (see below) for one nighters or weekly shows. Individual performers are also available for private parties and events.
As far as audiences go, we have an email list of over 2,500 people as well as listings on Metromix.com, Centerstagechicago.com, The Chicago Reader, Reader’s Guide, Chicagoreader.com, Spraci.com, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun Times, Craigslist, and more. We are dedicated to providing a quality, professional, entertainment product and keeping audiences and venues happy.

Saturdays at Chase Café, Chicago (no longer running)
June 05, 2004 Matt J Chicago , IL 4 stars
There are a lot of talented unknowns who show up to make this coffee house outburst with laughter. If you want a fun, inexpensive night, you can't lose with these comics.
March 28, 2004 T. H. Chicago , IL 4 stars
The show is a deal at $5. There's something for everyone to laugh at. It's a different thing to do for a Saturday, and you walk out realizing that you've laughed for two hours straight.
March 10, 2004 Kelly M. Chicago , IL 4 stars
All ages! No worrying about fake ID's and such, cute little coffee shop in Rogers Park with great comedy shows that make you pee your pants! Great date or friends outing.
November 03, 2003 Joe Bob Chicago , IL 4 stars
Come see some great local up and coming comics for very little money, see them before they get big.
Fridays at Café Amante (no longer running)
January 20, 2005 Bob Hansen Crystal Lake, IL 4 stars
Cafe Amante was a great setting for a very enjoyable evening of comedy. The five comedians that performed were all very talented. Each comedian had a unique style that made the evening even more enjoyable.
January 20, 2005 Sean Quinn Crystal Lake, IL 3 stars
An overall solid comedy show. Two or three notably standout comics with a couple gems springing from the remaining few, a close-knit location with great food that makes for a solid Friday night chill spot afterwards. No cover makes this a no-brainer for people strapped for weekend spending cash.
Saturdays at Fusion (no longer running)
March 20, 2005 Bob Crystal Lake, IL
The four comics that performed were outstanding. The setting is perfect for being up close and personal with the performers. The food is OK and prices were average. I think they could make some improvements to the facility to give the comics a little more room to perform. Overall it was a great evening of entertainment.
Sundays at Raw Bar (current)
December 7, 2005 Dee Miller Chicago, IL 3 stars
So much fun. Highly recommended!
Saturdays at Pressure (current)
March 14, 2006 Jay Rigler Chicago, IL 4 stars
A great way to spend a Saturday night! The cafe is not very large, so you get up-close and personal with the comics! Tickets are $10 or $5 with a student ID... SERIOUSLY UNDERPRICED. Someday they will realize that these shows are worth so much more! Go now, so you can say "I saw that show for $10 at a little coffee shop!" AWESOME!
