Nick Thune Returns to The Second City for One-Night-Only Event with Goose Island

The laughter and the award-winning beer will flow for one night only when Goose Island's Bourbon County Brand Stout presents ten-time Tonight Show guest and offbeat comedy darling Nick Thune at The Second City's UP Comedy Club. Adored by audiences for his absurdist view and deadpan wit, Thune will bring his signature style of comedy and storytelling to the Chicago venue for three performances at 6:30, 8:30, and 11:00 PM. Pours of Goose Island's three limited-release stouts Bourbon County Brand Stout, Bourbon County Reserve Brand Stout, and Bourbon County Brand Northwoods Stout can be purchased with your ticket. Originally brewed in honor of Goose Island's 1000th batch, the barrel-aged Chicago brews have a cult following, and their annual Black Friday release is wildly anticipated by beer enthusiasts and critics alike.
