Superstars of Stand-up with headliner Mike Stanley

The Comedy Shrine brings you professional comedians every weekend. The Superstars of Stand-up show is approximately 90 minutes in length and is comprised of a host, a featured comic and a headliner.

This week's headliner is Mike Stanley.

Wry, witty, cunning, and crass. Hot-shot comedian Mike Stanley is all of these things, but none, when put on paper, quite manage to serve the justice dealt by Stanley onstage. Yeah, he’s pretty fucking hilarious, but more than just coarse anecdotes about life and sex, there’s an enviable amount of heart and warmth behind Stanley’s humor. Given his penchant toward brutal honesty, spiced up with a healthy dose of insatiable wit, it’s not difficult to see why Stanley was named in the top 10 of the best comedians in Chicago by a poll on Comedy.com, and “Best Chicago Stand-up Comedian” by the Chicago Reader.

Originally hailing from Detroit, he’s a Windy City transplant who tours constantly, both domestically and internationally. Additionally, Stanley recently became the subject of a feature-length documentary, Salty Language, Peppered Morals, which follows him on the road to the Boston Comedy Festival and explores the intricate inner-workings of his explosive onstage persona. Don’t miss out on an incredible opportunity to catch the man in action – this high level of killer stand-up is too remarkable to sit out.

This show features Lewis Rhine and is hosted by Amelia Kleymann.
