In an effort to revive the stand-up comedy scene in the River North neighborhood of Chicago and to benefit local charity Imerman Angels, The Joynt presents Stand Up Against Cancer.  This event will feature the best and brightest local Chicago comedians, along with national headlining comic Kira Soltanovich.  The Joynt will also offer a full bar and a food menu. The show will be hosted by Vince Carone, who performs regularly at the Improv in Schaumburg and is fresh off performing on the Las Vegas Strip. Guest performers include “The Homeless Comic” Brian Neufang, Mike Maxwell, Prashanth Venkataramanujam from “The Brown Man Group” and Improv favorite Andrew Woodhull. The featured act of the night is Prescott Tolk, who performed on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend.
