Adele Givens has done it all! Adele was crowned winner of the Crown Royal Comedy competition in the city of Chicago on February 3rd 1990. Since that day Adele has realized that she was destined to become comedic royalty. Since then Adele has the rare ability to make you laugh, think, cry, and cringe all at the same time!! Her famous catch line “I am SUCH a #$%@#% Lady” has gone viral. Her work is popular and she can be heard on songs by Big Sean, Lil Kim, The Brat! Her bold and on point insights continue to delight and amaze her fans and peers alike. Popularity was swift with Adele winning many other competitions and securing the respect of comedy lovers everywhere. Almost immediately fans proclaimed Adele Givens the Queen of Comedy. The title is well deserved with such credits as Russell Simmons' Def Comedy Jam, The All Stars of Def Comedy Jam. Showtime at the Apollo. The Oprah Winfrey show. HBO Comedy half-hour, Comedy Central Presents, Queen Adele has certainly reigned supreme.
It wasn't long before Queen Adele made her acting debut, guest-starring in such sitcoms as Martin, Moesha, The Parkers, The Steve Harvey show, a recurring role on The Tracey Ullman show and becoming a series regular on the hit sitcom The Hughley’s to name a few. Loving her newfound tree, Queen Adele branched out to do her very own morning radio show (The Adele Givens morning show on WGCI 107.5 FM Chicago),but not before filming her first movie role as Tricks in the film, The Player’s Club. Before long, HBO recognized her majesty by offering her a chance to do her own HBO Half-hour comedy special and television pilot The Adele Givens show. Adele also served as co-host of the Source Magazine Awards pre-show. Queen Adele Givens wowed audiences everywhere on the very successful Queens of Comedy tour (13 consecutive sold out dates and the album was nominated for a Grammy Award), and made us laugh out loud as the hip hop loving, bad hair day having, DJ (I’Holla) Helen in the movie Beauty Shop.
Now the Queen of comedy, Grammy nominated artist, Soul Train Comedy Award nominee, and experienced television and film actress, had added the titles writer. Producer and Director to her resume. She is currently filming a movie she wrote and directed (The real extreme and confusing blaxploitation of ….SCANKHOSE.) All this and beautiful too! It’s safe to say that the little girl from Chicago’s west side has done the city proud!

I Was On A Sitcom is a show about finding out who you are when your TV show ends and your "real life" begins. Because when you've played a character on TV for a decade, what exactly does it mean to "be yourself?” This show offers a rare intimate glimpse inside a popular sitcom actor’s real, raw life. You will walk away feeling like you’ve made a new friend — and learned more about birthing twins than you ever did before. It’s funny, it’s dark, vulnerable, and disarmingly casual — it’s like having a night out with Eden herself, telling you a story over drinks.
Eden Sher starred on ABC’s The Middle for 9 years as the beloved character Sue Heck. Eden was hailed by Vulture as "the breakout star of the series" and Emily Nussbaum of The New Yorker wrote “[Sher] gives a fearless performance as Sue." Sher was nominated for a Critic’s Choice Award 5 times for the role, winning in 2013. After The Middle ended, she shot a pretty sick spinoff pilot for her character, which ABC "regretfully passed on." She also voiced the character Star on Disney Channel's Star Vs. The Forces of Evil, which ran for 5 seasons. In 2020, she gave birth to two people in the span of 20 minutes, and has succeeded in keeping those two people alive for over two years now.

ANDREW DICE CLAY *RARE COMEDY CLUB APPEARANCE*
Join us for two intimate Andrew Dice Clay shows at Mic Drop for this RARE COMEDY CLUB appearance!
Andrew Dice Clay is proud to be one of America’s most controversial and outrageous comics. And it’s that persona that has made him a Rock and Roll, Comedy Legend. When he released his debut album, Dice, the parental advisory label simply read “Warning: This album is offensive.” Despite media backlash, Dice’s rise to fame was nothing less than meteoric, creating “Dicemania”. He became the first comedian to sell out Madison Square Garden two nights in a row, as well as sporting arenas all across the country and was the only performer ever “Banned For Life from MTV.”
Dice has released numerous best-selling DVDs (No Apologies and Dice Rules!) and a string of multi-gold and platinum selling CDs (The Day The Laughter Died and Face Down, Ass Up). Dice also starred in several one-hour HBO, pay per view and Showtime stand-up specials including The Diceman Cometh and Indestructible.
In recent years, Dice’s career has experienced a resurgence. In 1992, Dice performed in front of the largest audience ever by a comedian at that time, when he shared the stage with Guns & Roses at the Rose Bowl and most notably for his recurring role on the final season of Entourage, when he starred to great critical acclaim alongside Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin in Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine, Martin Scorsese’s Vinyl and most recently in the award-winning blockbuster hit A Star Is Born. His other notable TV credits are The Celebrity Apprentice, where he is proud to have been the first celebrity thrown off the show that season and his Showtime series, for two seasons, called Dice, which was very loosely based on his own life.

Instructor: Lisa SundstedtLisa Sundstedt, is one of the most seasoned and most celebrated comediennes , stand-up comedy writers and producers in the business today. Her very first stand up gig was at a gay bar in West Hollywood called “The Rage”. Mustering up that kind of ballsy-broad attitude, Lisa entered a comedy contest and won first place. The win garnered her a little money and a lot of self-esteem!
So, in 1995, when some jackass at the Hollywood Improv told her, "pretty women can’t be funny", Lisa grabbed the trademark and created "Pretty Funny Women"... one of the longest running all female comedy shows in the world.
Lisa has a keen eye for talent and has helped launched the careers of hundreds of female comedians. Some of the comics who have been featured in past PFW industry showcases include Chelsea Handler, Sherri Shepherd, Maria Bamford, Vicki Barbolak, Natasha Leggero, and Heather McDonald.
In 2005, Lisa started teaching and now runs the only comedy school in Los Angeles…. for women. She has taught over two thousand women (including a few celebs) the exact formula to master stand up comedy.
Lisa has also written on TV shows like “Girls Behaving Badly”, “The Chelsea Handler Show,” “Chelsea Lately”, a variety of reality shows and was a producer on “Parental Discretion with Stefanie Wilder-Taylor” for Nickelodeon. Currently, she produces monthly showcases featuring women comics from around the world.
