Big Black Comedy is Chicago’s premier showcase dedicated to celebrating Black comedians and culture. Hosted and produced by Melvin Stewart, the show brings together a powerhouse lineup of rising stars and seasoned comics for an unforgettable night of laughter. Since its debut, Big Black Comedy has sold out shows, become one of The Den’s top-grossing productions, and built a reputation for delivering high-energy performances that spotlight fresh voices you won’t see anywhere else. With a packed 60-seat theater, diverse lineups, and an audience that shows up ready to laugh, this is more than a comedy show—it’s a cultural experience that keeps people coming back every month.
