Returning to Playhouse Square October 11th is an evening of hilarious stand-up comedy featuring finalists from NBC's laugh fest Last Comic Standing. Catch these rising stars as they ignite the stage with the jokes and laughter that made them the finalists in America's funniest competition.

The Emmy Award-nominated series Last Comic Standing returns to NBC with new judge Norm Macdonald alongside current judges and comedy icons Roseanne Barr and Keenen Ivory Wayans. Comedy Central roast veteran Anthony Jeselnik will join the fun as the new host of the eight-episode season.
