This show is for ages 18+

Funny, But Make It Fashion is a live comedy-fashion competition where stand-up comedians become creative directors and audience members become runway models. After each comedian performs a set, an original T-shirt design inspired by one of their jokes is revealed. Then, each comedian selects their own muse from the audience to model the design, and a live fashion campaign is created onstage in real time!

Created in New Orleans and now coming to Chicago, the show transforms laughter into wearable art while raising funds for the Health Alliance for Chicago Comedians (HACC).

Featuring comedians:

Sohrab Forouzesh

Deanna Ortiz

Sam Rocha

Lauren Walker

*and a special surprise guest!

Dress Theme: "Who Is U in Blue?"

Show us your blue. Rock your boldest blue look, from denim and navy to cobalt and sapphire. Come dressed to impress because you just might be chosen as a comedian's muse and become part of the show!
