This show is for ages 18 and older.

Get ready for the ultimate comedy crossover event! Producers Melvin Stewart and Marlon Hue have joined forces to bring you The Big Black Variants, a massive collaboration blending the creative chaos of the Variants Network with the bold humor of Big Black Comedy.

This isn't just a show; it’s an interactive experience. We are taking over The Den Theatre for a night that defies categorization. Expect a high-octane mix of Games, Standup, Dance, and Improv featuring a powerhouse lineup of Chicago’s funniest performers.
