SpotlightCTRL: UNMUTEDWhere the comedy club meets the block party and crashes the theatre.

Step into a one-night-only collision of comedy, culture, and rhythm that could only happen in Chicago. This isn’t your typical comedy show — it’s a 120-minute live experience blending improv, hip-hop, and raw storytelling, powered by a live DJ + drummer and an ensemble of top performers.

What to Expect:

Fast-paced, unscripted improv

Live soundtrack from Grammy-winning talent

Culturally charged comedy and truth-telling

High-energy audience connection and community vibe

No script. No filter. Just rhythm.

Who’s On Stage:

Headkrack (Host): Seen on Wild ’N Out, Dish Nation, and The Rickey Smiley Morning Show. Also hosts SideDish on Fox Soul.

BranooFunck (DJ + Drums): Award-winning duo featured in the Dallas Observer cover story “The Party Never Stops.”

Off Book (Improv Troupe): Veteran performers from The Second City, iO, and UCB bringing razor-sharp, culturally rich comedy.
