Jim Belushi and the Board of Comedy Come to Raue Center, 9/22

Raue Center For The Arts is excited to welcome Jim Belushi and the Board of Comedy to downtown Crystal Lake! With more than 30 years of experience, the alumnus of "Saturday Night Live" and Chicago's famed Second City is now bringing an improvised comedy sketch show featuring members of the Board of Comedy to the stage! Don't miss this hilarious show at 8 p.m. on September 22, 2017.

"[Belushi] is one of the nicest guys working in the business! He's not only brilliant but really down to earth, incredibly smart and savvy as well," says Raue Center Executive Director, Richard Kuranda.

Belushi began his acting career in Chicago, studying at three of the top theatres: The Goodman, The Apollo and The Second City. After a stint on "Saturday Night Live" from 1983-1985, Belushi went on to enjoy a successful television, film and stage career.

A favorite of film, television and stage audiences, Belushi is one of the great leading character actors equally at home in drama and comedy. From 2001-2009, he starred in the hit comedy "According to Jim" on ABC, on which he also served as an executive producer, music composer and director. In 2011, Belushi received rave reviews on Broadway for his role as Harry Brock in "Born Yesterday." He is also known for his appearances in over 75 films, including "Red Heat," "About Last Night," "The Principal" and "K-9."

Belushi is thrilled to be getting back to his improv roots with an incredibly talented and hilarious group of actors. Accompanying him in the Board of Comedy are Megan Grano, Larry Joe Campbell and Joshua Funk, all of whom are classically trained professional improvisers who tour regularly nationwide.

Tickets start at $55 and can be purchased online at rauecenter.org or via the Box Office at 815.356.9212 or at 26 N. Williams Street in downtown Crystal Lake.
