Black Wednesday Comedy Show

​Black Wednesday Comedy Showcase- November 26, 2025.

Kick off the biggest party night of the year with a stacked comedy showcase featuring some of Chicago’s most exciting and recognizable voices. Join us at The Comedy Vault for the Black Wednesday Comedy Show, starring Ruben Ramirez, Kristen Toomey, Paul Farahvar, and hosted by Tyler Fowler. This lineup is loaded — and it’s one night only.

About your lineup:

Ruben Ramirez

Ruben Ramirez is one of Chicago’s fastest-rising comedians, known for his blend of blue humor, relatable storytelling, and sharp observational jokes that hit every crowd. You’ve seen him on WGN, The Michael Colyar Morning Show, BET+’s North of the 10, and films on Amazon Prime and Tubi. His Roast Battle appearances have pulled in millions of views, and he’s opened for a long list of national touring acts including Martin Amini, Chingo Bling, George Perez, Craig Conant, Ken Flores, and Josh Pray. With festival appearances, collaborations with major brands, and a rapidly growing following across social media, Ruben is quickly becoming a name to watch.


Kristen Toomey

Kristen Toomey is a comedy powerhouse with a voice that’s unapologetic, honest, and unmistakably Chicago. Her reels have racked up more than 20 million views, her Zanies-produced Micro Special hit 300K views, and her debut album Mother. Fucker. reached #1 on iTunes. Kristen has performed at Just For Laughs, Netflix Is A Joke Festival, and can be seen on Kevin Hart’s LOL! Network and Peacock. With her high-energy delivery and brutally funny storytelling, she remains one of the most in-demand performers in the scene.


Paul Farahvar

Known for his quick-witted, dry humor and stories about being a practical (and perpetually single) bachelor, Paul Farahvar has built a national touring career from the ground up. A former litigator turned comic, Paul is a longtime Laugh Factory regular who has opened for Demetri Martin, Gary Gulman, Dusty Slay, and Bret Ernst. His Dry Bar special Always a Groomsman and Helium special Middlewestern, Middle Eastern highlight his comedic range, and his podcast Singles Only! continues to grow a dedicated fanbase.


Hosted by Tyler Fowler

Holding the night together is nationally touring comedian Tyler Fowler, whose clever, clean-but-sharp style and relatable stories have earned him a #1 iTunes comedy album (Friends With 401(k) Benefits), a Dry Bar special (Little Spoon), and an hour with Comedy Dynamics (My Mom Said I Can’t Go). Tyler is a regular at both Zanies and Laugh Factory and brings the perfect mix of charm and punchlines to kick off the night.
